Program in Chile
The Linkage Program in Chile is a collaborative effort with the Universidad de Chile and Universidad Diego Portales in Santiago, Chile. The main goal of the program is to promote a better understanding of the relationship between law and democratic values in the United States and Latin America. First, second, third-year and graduate students are invited to apply. Spanish is required and essential. Travel and living expenses will be funded by the Yale Law School. Students live with local families or university students. A commitment is required only for the month of June. In the past, student participants have worked in the United States for a large portion of the summer; some traveled throughout Latin America under a Schell Fellowship.
Are you interested in spending June, 2007 working with students and faculty at law schools in Santiago? To apply, provide a current resume, a law school transcript, and a brief statement (no longer than three double-spaced pages) that explains your interest in the program and the relevance of your participation to your future career plans. Applicants should clearly indicate their country of preference, if any. Before applying, we suggest you schedule a meeting to discuss the program with Jhon Carmona. Mr. Carmona is this year’s program leader. He can be reached at Jhon.Carmona@yale.edu or at (203) 436-3534. Four copies of your application should be delivered to Mr. Carmona’s mailbox in the Law School mail room no later than Wednesday, October 31. Selections will be announced by mid November.
