At Salt & Associates, we are committed to supporting the development of the next generation of legal professionals in Iraq. Our collaboration with the College of Law at the American University of Iraq – Baghdad (COL-AUIB) reflects this commitment by providing law students with valuable, hands-on experience in a professional legal setting.
Through our formal partnership, we have established an internship program designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world legal practice. Each year, we welcome selected students from COL-AUIB to join our firm for an immersive internship that allows them to engage in various aspects of legal work, including research, writing, and client interactions. Interns are provided with mentorship from our experienced attorneys, offering guidance and supervision across diverse areas of law to help build their skills and understanding of the profession.
Our firm believes in nurturing young talent and contributing to the broader community by sharing our expertise. In alignment with this belief, we provide financial support to the university to help sustain the internship program, ensuring that students receive a fair stipend for their work. This initiative not only supports individual growth but also contributes to the development of Iraq’s legal community by empowering future lawyers with the tools they need to succeed.
In addition to practical training, our internship program offers educational workshops and seminars tailored to enhance legal research, writing, and advocacy skills. At Salt & Associates, we strive to create an environment that fosters learning, professional growth, and a deep understanding of the legal challenges facing Iraq today. By exposing students to real legal matters, court proceedings, and client interactions, we aim to help them gain practical insights that are crucial for their future careers.
We are proud of our partnership with COL-AUIB and view this collaboration as an important part of our community engagement efforts. It allows us to contribute to the education and empowerment of young legal professionals, who will play a key role in shaping the future of the Iraqi legal system. Through this ongoing partnership, we reaffirm our commitment to community development and to advancing legal education in Iraq.
