What is the appropriate visa to apply for a law school intern?

I work for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. We are considering an internship for a Spanish citizen who is in law school in Spain. She would help us on legal issues, learning about the legal system in the U.S. We would not pay her for her work. What is the most appropriate visa for her? J-1? H-3? Something else? Thanks.

    The only type of visa you could apply for is a J-1 but Spain uses Civil Law not Common Law so utterly pointless. She cannot help with your legal issues and learning about them will not help her at home.

    your organization's attorney is the correct person to answer this question. he/she will refer you to another attorney if this isn't within their expertise.
