Legal internships abroad in Jamaica come in various formats. We offer full projects that include accommodation, transportations, and meals, placement-only projects where we only arrange your medical internship placement, and online volunteer opportunities where you can get on-the-job experience virtually.

Our legal internship abroad programs are ideal for you if you are seeking guaranteed internship placement in a productive legal environment where you will get exposure to corporate law, criminal cases, private practices, and non-profits.
So, if you are seeking to gain a strong sense of accomplishment at the end of your internship while working in a professional environment, then you should join our law internship abroad projects today.
We understand that many interns join our international law internships abroad to gain course hours to contribute towards their course. If you would like for your internship placement to provide you with work hours to put towards your academic course, indicate this on your application so that we can find a placement that can accommodate this.
These are just some examples. Feel free to discuss any other activities you would like to engage in during your project.
On the first day of your legal internship abroad project, a Project Advisor will accompany you to your internship site where you will be introduced to the local staff and given a tour of the property. You will also be introduced to your supervisor, who will guide and mentor you throughout your internship. Your Program Advisor will also ensure that you are settled in and that you know where to purchase lunch.
On some weekdays after you complete work, and on the weekends, you can purchase tours and adventure packages to have some fun and get to experience the beauty of Jamaica. Book your tours on our cultural immersion and adventure packages here.
After you have completed your law internship abroad project, we will award you with a Law Internship Certificate. We will also sign any course-related documents.
After you pay the processing fee for your law internships abroad in Jamaica, you will be able to create your account on our website and enroll in our digital culture classes, even before you arrive. This course includes several videos, worksheets, and learning materials where you learn all about Jamaica’s culture, and cover topics such as our food, government, history, traditions, norms, religion, and more.
As a part of your international legal internships package, you will also get access to our online course to learn how to speak, write and understand Patois (pronounced Pat-Wah), which is our local dialect.
We are always excited to help interns in their fundraising efforts for their legal international internships. This is the reason we have created a fundraising guide to help students in their fundraising efforts by providing great tips and ideas on how to raise money to help offset your program cost and travel expenses.
We are happy to provide you with any documentation that you may need to apply for study abroad funding or grants available at your school.

I had a wonderful placement at the pediatric center where the Dr and staff were very welcoming. I was able to develop my manual blood pressure taking ability and other key skills that I’m not able to practice in my typical clinical environment.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. This was a life changing experience. The children were so great. They gave me and taught me so much more than I gave them. This was one of the most satisfying trips I’ve ever done. Jomo, his mother and Dwayne were great hosts and caretakers. Jamaica and its people will forever be in my heart.
Unforgettable experience! All of you should try it. It was only my first-time volunteering and I’d love to do it again through the same Jamaica International Projects.
