JUSTICE internships (hurry!)

Applicants for the JUSTICE summer and autumn internships, both paid positions, have just days left to submit their applications―the closing date is 15 May at 10pm

Both roles are full-time for three months. Interns will work closely with the team, conducting legal research, commenting on draft legislation, assisting with third party interventions and exploring law reform issues.

JUSTICE is also recruiting for the Kalisher internship, a paid role, but the closing date for applications is 29 May at 10pm. This one is suitable for law graduates who hope to practice at the Criminal Bar, and will take place for three months from October to December 2020.

To help applicants, JUSTICE has put together a Q&A and a webinar about internships. For these and more information about these fantastic opportunities at an influential human rights organisation, visit: https://justice.org.uk/about-us/vacancies.
