Thanks to the FCC Spring 2022 Internship Program we just developed, we were able to hire 8 students. They were trained on marketing, communications, and campaigning, as well as with research and project development by our own Board Members, which are mainly professionals within their fields, scholars, academics, and college professors. Workshops were created, and students were also divided in teams and paired with a member of our board which served as a mentor to the students in the team, and who provided them with direction, guidance, and assistance in their work throughout the semester.

Friendly Law has been around for just one year. However, Friendly Law was inspired on the idea that external changes are the ones that can make or brake not just a person, but also, an organization. One of the basic lessons learned from the most modern insights generated about the nature and interconnection of law, technology, and communication is that because of the connection between law and important values, motives, and strong principles, which are critical for a just and humane society, world decision processes are most usefully understood as processes of communication. This understanding highlighted how the fair distribution of the economy of the world is a narrow lens that is often confined to specialists, and how this makes the local and global legal institutions redressing poverty and of racial, gender, and economic inequality as one of the central issues that the international legal order currently confronts. Because of this dynamic, Friendly Law came to believe in the need for education and advanced professional work beyond the traditional legal practice, focused on how to influence the expectations of the ordinary citizen concerning the basic values of international order and world civilization, such as, but not limited to, the fundamental ideas of universal security and peace, the value of the principles of equality at every level, the critical salience of the rule of law, and the imperatives of human developments and social economic progress.
