Paid Internship Opportunity For Law Graduates Under The Kalisher Trust Internship At JUSTICE (The UK Section Of The International Commission Of Jurists) [October 2023 To December 2023]: Apply By 11th September 2023 (10:00 PM)

What Is JUSTICE?

JUSTICE is the UK section of the International Commission of Jurists – a global body dedicated to the primacy, coherence and implementation of international law and principles that advance human rights. JUSTICE was founded in 1957 by a group of leading jurists to promote the rule of law and the fair administration of justice. The following year we became the UK section of the International Commission of Jurists. With an eminent, all party membership, the legal landscape in this country has been shaped by JUSTICE ever since. JUSTICE is a cross-party law reform and human rights organisation working to strengthen the justice system – administrative, civil and criminal – in the United Kingdom. Our vision is of fair, accessible and efficient legal processes, in which the individual’s rights are protected, and which reflect the country’s international reputation for upholding and promoting the rule of law

The Kalisher intern works with their legal team on a range of criminal justice matters. As an intern you will be an invaluable member of our team, assisting in the development of our policy lines and providing research and analysis to support arguments for or against law reform.  If we are involved in a third-party intervention during your internship, you will be undertaking comparative research and possibly drafting submissions. You will accompany us to meetings with lawmakers and NGOs, speaking engagements and events as well as court hearings. They will attend internal meetings and are expected to engage with colleagues as a member of the JUSTICE staff. The Kalisher scholarships are intended to encourage and assist those intending to practice at the Criminal Bar who demonstrate “exceptional promise but modest means”. Given the nature of our work, applications are sought from law graduates only. This includes people who expect to have completed a law degree or GDL or are a CILEX graduate by the time they start the internship. Applicants should demonstrate an interest in criminal law and the criminal justice system. They should have excellent written and spoken communication skills.

The Kalisher Trust internship at JUSTICE will take place over three months from October 2023 to December 2023. The JUSTICE team are currently working largely remotely. Staff members have access to office space in London; however attendance is optional. The Legal Intern will have regular video calls with their line managers, the policy team and wider JUSTICE staff.
