Two IU McKinney Grads Return to Help with Program in International Human Rights Law Externship Interviews
03/11/2016
Luke Purdy, ‘15, and Sukrat Baber, ’14, returned to IU McKinney to assist with the interviews for the Summer 2016 Overseas Program in International Human Rights Law (PIHRL) internship placements. Former interns come back to take part in the program to interview current J.D. and LL.M. students who wish to take part in the program. PIHRL has had over 200 placements in 47 countries in the 20 years since it began.
“We have interviewed a host of highly talented, eager, dedicated, and committed students for 2016 placements,” said Professor George Edwards. He is PIHRL’s founding and executive director. “We do not have a list of openings and slot candidates into placements. We work with each student to try to determine whether we can find the right match for them. Each host organization has needs and wants. Students have geographic, substantive, and type of work interests. We try to match students with appropriate host organizations. This necessarily takes time.”
