True Crime Interniship law
Un primo approccio - APPROACH
Italy and the United States have one of the most celebrated relationships that two disparate countries can enjoy. From the 19th and early 20th-Century emigrations to the allied agreement during World War II, Italy and the U.S. have come to see themselves as global partners. With similar values and hopes for their citizens, it is no surprise that such relations are possible. The governments and legal institutions provide the foundation for such excellent relations. The citizens of each country, however, are proof that the relationship is mutually beneficial. With these principles in mind, The International Division of Studio Legale Perugi-Celoni provides an internship for students living in Italy who have an interest in law, international politics, comparative law, diplomacy and international relations. The goal of the program is to foster understanding of the law in Italy and apply that knowledge and compare it to the U.S. legal system. Using historical as well as open cases, both criminal and civil, students will learn both the general outlines and the fascinating particulars of chosen Italian legal cases in order to practice their Italian and gain a deeper understanding of the culture of which they are a part. Given that most SYA students begin as novices in Italian, the internship will rely mostly on English at the beginning and increase the use of Italian as the internship progresses. Since Studio Legale Perugi-Celoni collaborates with attorneys and clients in the U.S., a bilingual approach is essential in the International Division. Students who want to pursue this internship might simply be interested in exchanging ideas using the context of Italian law. By looking at actual legal cases, students will gain an understanding of the legal, social, economic, civic and environmental structures that make up the profile of society. Students will therefore improve their standard Italian and gain knowledge of legal Italian. Participants will thereby better understand the concepts of legality, compliance with the laws and common rules in Italy via their understanding of the cases under study. They will gain an understanding of civics, especially as applied to real-world situations and will greatly enhance their time while in Italy. This project will be offered early in the year and will continue through the end. It is hoped that the knowledge and relationships could lead to long-term collaboration with future students and legal professionals beyond the SYA semester or year in Italy, as well as other projects the law firm is planning for the future.

“Standard” Italian, which all Italians speak and learn in school, differs from “legal Italian” because of its specificity. Studio Legale Perugi-Celoni offers a pilot internship program for students at School Year Abroad Italy who have an interest in law, international law, comparative law, diplomacy and international relations. During their internship, students will practice Italian, legal Italian while also utilizing English to assist them. It is important to note that students who want to pursue this internship might merely be interested in exchanging ideas within the context of Italian law and the rules that govern the country and its communities. Students will look at actual legal cases “to gain an understanding of the social, economic, legal, civic and environmental structures and profiles of society.” Since Studio Legale Perugi-Celoni collaborates with attorneys and clients in the U.S., students will improve their standard Italian, gain knowledge of legal Italian and assist in the understanding of some American laws through translations and by asking questions while working with the cases under current scrutiny at the firm. Students will thereby better understand the concepts of legality, compliance with the laws and common rules in Italy via their contact with practical cases. The value of understanding civics, especially as applied to real-world cases, will greatly benefit the experience of SYA students. This pilot project will begin in the fall of 2021 for incoming students and will continue throughout the year. If successful, it could lead to long-term collaboration with students after they graduate as well as other projects the law firm foresees for future students.
L'italiano "standard", che tutti gli italiani parlano e imparano a scuola, differisce dall'italiano "legale" per la sua specificità. Lo Studio Legale Perugi-Celoni offre un programma di stage pilota per gli studenti dell'Anno Scolastico all'estero che hanno un interesse per il diritto, il diritto internazionale, il diritto comparato, la diplomazia e le relazioni internazionali. Durante il tirocinio gli studenti praticheranno l'italiano, l'italiano legale e l'inglese per assisterli. È importante notare come gli studenti che vogliono svolgere questo tirocinio potrebbero essere semplicemente interessati a scambiare idee nel contesto del diritto italiano e delle regole che governano il Paese e le sue comunità. Gli studenti esamineranno i casi giuridici reali "per comprendere le strutture e i profili sociali, economici, legali, civili e ambientali." Dal momento che lo Studio Legale Perugi-Celoni collabora con avvocati e clienti negli Stati Uniti, gli studenti miglioreranno il loro standard italiano, acquisiranno la conoscenza dell'italiano legale e contribuiranno alla comprensione di alcune leggi americane attraverso traduzioni e domande mentre si lavora con i casi sottoposti ad esame dello studio legale. Gli studenti comprenderanno meglio i concetti di legalità, rispetto delle leggi e delle regole comuni in Italia, attraverso il contatto con i casi pratici. Il valore della comprensione dell'educazione civica, specialmente se applicata ai casi reali, beneficerà notevolmente l'esperienza degli studenti della SYA. Questo progetto pilota inizierà nell'autunno del 2021 per gli studenti in arrivo, e continuerà durante tutto l'anno. In caso di successo, potrebbe portare a una collaborazione a lungo termine con gli studenti dopo il diploma e altri progetti che lo studio legale prevede per i futuri studenti.
