Congratulations to Delia Ramsbotham, a first year Associate at Davis & Company, who has been accepted into the Youth International Internship Program. Delia is one of 10 young lawyers across Canada selected for this worthwhile program. In September she will begin a six month work term in Windhoek, Namibia.

The CBA administers the Youth International Internship Program which is funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Through this program, young lawyers are placed in eight-month internships (they are overseas for between six and seven months of that time) to work with human rights legal organizations in Southern and Central Africa and Latin America.

The program has two objectives: to provide human rights legal organizations abroad with interns who have the expertise to make a professional contribution to their work; and to give young lawyers, at the start of their careers, international experience to help them obtain employment in the field of law and international human rights legal work.
