Legal Internship Program – Second Cycle

Print Friendly, PDF & Email


We are happy to announce the second cycle of our internship program at Just Access.


Legal Internships


Just Access is calling for applications from excellent undergraduates and graduates in the early stages of their careers with a strong background in international human rights law to contribute to its work.

We seek to provide our interns with the experience of working in an NGO, so each Just Access intern is likely to work on a number of assignments at the same time. These include independent research; background and policy research for reports and submissions before regional or international courts and UN mechanisms and initial drafting; assisting with project work, including developing and implementing training programs, and organising events; attending meetings with other organisations; fundraising and communications work; and administrative tasks as required.

This is an unpaid volunteer position. Pre-approved expenses (e.g. for travel) will be reimbursed. The duration of the internship is three months.

How to apply:

Please send an e-mail to: contact(at)just-access.de, with “Volunteer” in the subject line, together with

  • your CV;

  • a brief cover letter highlighting your key skills, indicating when you would be available to start, whether you would be available to work full time or part time, and confirming if you would be able to work from our Heidelberg office (if Covid-19 movement restrictions at that time permit); and

  • a short writing sample (3 pages), for example a university essay or recent work.

This call is open two weeks after the publishing date.

HERE IS WHAT OUR PREVIOUS INTERN HAD TO SAY

The past three months have been incredibly important for my career and my personal life, and I am truly grateful for the trust and appreciation that the team has always shown me. Through Just Access, I have concretely understood what it is like to work in the field of law and human rights and how the things I study can be applied in the real world.
