In the past, Philadelphia lawyers going to Lyon have typically visited France for between three and six months. However, in some instances a shorter stay of from one to three months might be appropriate. Some knowledge of French or a willingness to learn is an asset in applying for the program.
For Philadelphia lawyers who are selected to go to France, the internship offers a means of gaining international and EU experience during a time of increasing awareness of the global environment. Past participants have brought back with them significant business as well. The culinary aspect of the experience is not lost on candidates, either!
