Student Fellowship in Human Rights – The Public Law Project
Applications for 2024 have now closed.
The Bonavero Institute Summer Fellowship at the Public Law Project (PLP) in London is an eight-week internship, tenable from early July to late September 2024.
About The Public Law Project (PLP)
Public Law Project (PLP) is an independent national legal charity. We are researchers, lawyers, trainers and public law policy experts. The aim of all of our work is to make sure that state decision-making is fair and lawful and that anyone can hold the state to account. For over 30 years we have represented and supported people marginalised through poverty, discrimination or disadvantage when they have been affected by unlawful state decision-making. Public Law Project also responds to consultations, policy proposals and legislation which have implications for public law remedies, access to justice and the rule of law. We provide evidence to inquiries, reviews, statutory bodies and parliamentary committees, and we publish independent research and guides to increase understanding of public law.
Public Law Project’s research and publications are available at: www.publiclawproject.org.uk/resources-search/
About the internship at PLP
You would help develop our evidence-based work in one or more of our priority areas (a constitution that promotes accountability, transparent and fair decision making where new technologies are used by public bodies, or systems by which immigration, benefits and legal aid operate properly and without discrimination). You would work closely with researchers, policy specialists and the casework team at PLP, and be given the autonomy and support to produce an original piece of practical research.
