U. of Virginia Alumna Wins Clerkship at World Court

Najwa Nabti, a 2002 graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law, is the second recipient of a fellowship that supports UVA graduates while they serve as clerks at the International Court of Justice.

The Orrick International Law Fellowship awards up to $40,000 to selected University of Virginia graduates to cover relocation, housing, and living expenses while they work at the World Court. The program is funded by the international law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.

Nabti described the selection process to the University of Virginia campus newspaper as "very competitive...You're competing [for the fellowship] with any law student from U.Va. graduating anywhere from this year to five years ago, and the quality of people is very high. It's a very exciting opportunity and a great honor to represent U.Va. at The Hague."

Nabti is one of nine candidates worldwide to be selected to clerk at the IJC. The Court invites selected law schools to nominate candidates for the positions each year. Deena Hurwitz, director of the Human Rights Program and International Human Rights Law Clinic at the University of Virginia, said,"U.Va. is proud to be one of the law schools in the United States to participate" in the program.
