Further Information
A core part of the work undertaken by the Human Rights Lawyers Association Executive Committee is the administration of an annual bursary fund, enabling those without independent financial backing to take up internships, work placements and other either unpaid or poorly paid work in human rights law.
In 2006 the HRLA established a bursary scheme to assist law students, either those currently studying (either undergraduate degree, postgraduate studies or LPC/BPTC/Law Conversion Course) or those who have recently graduated, in undertaking such work. The Association does this in recognition of the reality that without such experience, the most capable students may miss out on these opportunities, which can lead to a disadvantage when they apply for jobs within the human rights field.
If this sounds like it could be for you, please read through the Bursary Scheme policy document which provides details on eligibility and how to apply.
If your organisation would like to be involved in sponsoring a bursary fund, please contact our administrator.
