University Traineeship Program at International Court of Justice
Deadline February 15
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) invites applications for the University Traineeship Programme for 2018-2019. Participation in the programme is limited to nominating universities that accept the conditions indicated in the post description and meet the additional requirements set out below.
The programme was established in 1999 in order to enable recent law graduates to gain experience working at the ICJ. It aims to improve participants’ understanding of international law and of the Court’s processes by actively involving them in the work of the Court and allowing them to build on their experience under the supervision of a judge.
The deadline for the submission of applications by universities is 15 February 2018. The Court will make its selection on the basis of the candidates’ application documents. It is expected to reach its final decision in March/April 2018. Nominating universities will be notified accordingly.
Selection of candidates
While it is possible to nominate a single candidate, the Court encourages universities to propose more than one. Universities are also strongly encouraged to limit applications to candidates who have excellent results in their law studies and who have demonstrated an interest in international law through their studies, publications or work experience. The Court does not accept applications from individuals.
Letters of reference
Universities should submit at least two letters of reference for each candidate, preferably from individuals who can attest to the candidate’s abilities in the field of international law.
Writing sample
Universities are requested to submit a sample of each candidate’s written work of no more than 15 typewritten pages that has either been submitted for publication or is of similar publishable quality. The Court sets great store by this part of the application and would appreciate the nominating university making every effort to enable the Court to consider written work produced directly by the candidate.
Application Procedure
