JUSTICE Student Human Rights Network

Dear Friend

Two ways you can get further involved with JUSTICE

Apply for our summer internship programme

JUSTICE takes at least two summer interns each year to assist our human rights and criminal justice policy staff. The internship can involve undertaking comparative legal research, drafting briefing notes, editing policy papers, writing book reviews, attending meetings and court and provides an excellent opportunity to find out what it is like working for a leading legal non-governmental organisation. The internship may also include occasional assistance with administrative tasks. The scheme runs from June to September, and interns normally work four days a week for approximately four to six weeks. We will reimburse reasonable travel costs within
London and give an allowance each day for lunch. Because of the level of JUSTICE's policy work we encourage applications from law graduates, although we do welcome applications from other suitable qualified people and from undergraduate students.

To apply please email rbrailsford@justice.org.uk or post your CV and a covering letter, detailing your skills, experience, reasons for wanting to work with us and your availability, to Rachel Brailsford by Friday 18 May 2007. We will put all applications forward for shortlisting and invite those successful at shortlisting for a short interview at our offices in London EC4 in late May/early June.
