VABAW recognizes that an international perspective will greatly enrich and broaden a law student’s legal education and experience. To that end, VABAW created the Hồng Đức Clerkship in 2007. The 2015 Hồng Đức Clerkship will provide a law student with the opportunity to clerk at Hogan Lovells in Vietnam for a maximum of three summer months. This is a unique opportunity to live in Vietnam and learn about international and comparative law by working at an international law firm. The clerkship will award up to a total of $5,000, with approximately $2,000 applied to a round-trip airfare ticket to Vietnam and a maximum of $1,000 for each month of the clerkship paid directly to the clerkship recipient for living expenses.
Hogan Lovells became a top 10 global legal services provider
on May 1, 2010 through an unprecedented merger of two firms with international
credentials, U.S.-based firm Hogan & Hartson and UK-based firm
Lovells. Modern-day Hogan Lovells carries on the tradition of excellence
established by its founders and further builds on their legacy. After
opening a representative office in 1994, Hogan Lovells became the first
international law firm to open a full branch office in Ho Chi Minh City in
1996. Today, Hogan Lovells works closely with its newly-opened office in
Hanoi, offering a full range of corporate, intellectual property, projects and
real estate, and construction capabilities to client companies operating in
Vietnam.
This is a unique opportunity that is open to ALL
qualified JD or LLM law students at an ABA-accredited law school. Find
