Pitt Law student Laras Susanti earned a grant from the American Indonesian Cultural and Educational Foundation

Laras Susanti, a doctoral student in the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, earned a travel grant from the American Indonesian Cultural and Educational Foundation (AICEF).

The $3,000 grant will support Susanti as she returns home to Indonesia to complete research on its Constitutional Court. A law lecturer at Universitas Gadjah Mada, she specifically studies cases involving women's and children's rights in relation to the 1974 Marriage Act. Susanti will interview state and non-state actors to understand the court's strategy and what its decisions mean for Indonesia's society.

Susanti received a master’s degree from the University of Washington School of Law. She is attending Pitt by way of scholarships from Fulbright and the University’s Center for International Legal Education.
