Short Description	The Kalshoven-Gieskes Forum at Leiden Law School offers a select number of students the opportunity to participate in the International Humanitarian Law Clinic (IHL Clinic). Students who participate in the IHL Clinic complete the Privatissimum, a 10 ECTS master course which is obligatory for all students in the LL.M. programme Public International Law at Leiden University. In the past, the KGF has also offered IHL Clinic projects for outstanding LL.M. students of the advanced master’s programme in Public International Law. The IHL Clinic allows students to work (pro bono) on specific projects involving issues of international humanitarian law, international criminal law as well as international human rights law, and to gain valuable practical experience in this area. The projects are selected by the Forum in cooperation with its cooperation partners.
