Projects
Northwestern Law students started participating in ITP projects in 1999. Since that time, we have researched on 6 continents, in nearly 40 countries and averaged participation of 150 students each year. ITP has produced well over 200 research papers on various legal issues. The countries and topics researched are listed below.
If students and their interviewees have granted us permission to publish their research findings a pdf of the paper's abstract can be found at the link below. Please contact the ITP Program Coordinator for the full paper.
