The Transnational Justice Clinic is recruiting one Fellow to join its team from early May 2026 through April 30, 2027. The Fellow will be involved in legal research and drafting, both independently and as part of a team, to support the Clinic's research activities in general, but with particular focus on a project with the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent.
The Clinic was founded in 2023 as part of the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism and provides legal research and writing support to partner organizations. Our work to date has included researching and drafting amici curiae briefs, preparing policy submissions for domestic and international government bodies, and conducting case law research and analysis for legal organizations and tribunals. You can see samples of the clinic's work here.
The selected student will receive a Fellowship with a $2,000 honorarium. We anticipate the work will average 5-10 hours per week, with some more intense periods closer to deadlines and some quieter periods. Following the Clinic鈥檚 past work, the selected student is expected to work on projects involving Canadian, foreign, and international law.
If you are interested in participating, please and upload all required documents by April 29, 2026.
For any information, don鈥檛 hesitate to reach out to yuri.romana-rivas [at] mail.mcgill.ca and myrto.leivadarou [at] mail.mcgill.ca.
