News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) Israel Bar Associations national council, attorney Amos Van-Emden, has announced that law students will be allowed to begin their internships as scheduled despite missing classes due to a first semester senior academic staff strike.  Students will begin their internships in March.

Law students are normally required to complete all but two courses in order to begin an internship, but many of this year’s students are missing more than two courses.  The students will be required to complete their academic learning by July 15 of this year.  IBA members plan to ask university heads to be lenient with the students, who will be required to complete their academic studies and their internships at the same time.
