What’s a Law Student to Do?

March 2, 2010

For a story of one J.D. going to Cambodia to work with Heritage Watch, please read here.

Excerpt:

“After my first year of law school, I spent a month in Phnom Penh, Cambodia with Heritage Watch, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Cambodian cultural heritage sites and fostering sustainable development. As an intern, my job was to synthesize relevant laws and other legal documents into a database that could be easily accessed by those needing to know the rules governing the use of cultural property from Cambodia. My goal going into the project was to assess how Cambodia’s growing problem with cultural heritage preservation could benefit from a coherent legal approach. . . .”
