The fellowships are divided approximately in thirds to each year of law students. Persons interested in applying for fellowships for the entering year should follow the normal law school application procedures through the admissions office of the law school. The deadline for application is March 15. Decisions will be made by April 15. Decisions will be based upon academic merit and will take into consideration previous activities in the human rights field and proficiency in foreign languages.
Foreign languages are particularly important in overseas placements.
Students applying for fellowships in their second and third years will be notified through the appropriate law school organs of the application dates and procedures. It is necessary for students to apply each year for fellowships for the following academic year. Academic performance at the law school, as well as performance on projects, will be taken into consideration in making decisions upon applicants who have been Fellows in the preceding year.
