Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia Community Legal Education Initiative (BABSEA CLE) is currently accepting applications for its 2013 June-July Legal Studies Externship Program. Entering into its 8th year, the BABSEA CLE Legal Studies Externship Program offers an opportunity to make a real contribution to assisting others in overcoming the hardships and legal inequity in Southeast Asia while being involved in a remarkable experience of living and working in the region.
Make a Difference! As a BABSEA CLE 2013 Legal Studies Extern you will contribute in four ways:

- Community legal education research and curriculum development
- Community service
- Education and culture
- Self development through reflection.

What is the Program? During the 8 week experience, your activities will include a variety of community based legal education teachings, legal research and writing, not-for-profit organizational management and administrative activities, service projects with local and rural communities and many educational events and cultural experiences. Externs will work and interact with the BABSEA CLE International Community Legal Education team as well as local lawyers, legal educators, community and governmental organizations from BABSEA CLE's partner network in the Southeast Asia region.

Externs contribute $2,350 USD for their costs (shared accommodations included). There are a limited number of partial cost waivers for applicants who demonstrate great financial need and a history of being involved in access to justice/community service projects.
