The Customs and International Trade Bar Association (CITBA) and the American Society of International Economic Law Interest Group (ASIL IEcLIG) are committed to diversity and inclusion in the international trade and economic law fields, to ending racism and its effects on our society, and to increasing opportunities for attorneys from underrepresented groups in the field who have been adversely affected by racism.

To further these goals, CITBA and the ASIL IEcLIG are pleased to announce a joint summer fellowship for first- and second-year law students who are members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in the customs and international trade law practice in the United States, and that have been adversely affected by rracism.
