JUSTICE

JUSTICE is an all-party law reform and human rights organisation working to strengthen the justice system – administrative, civil and criminal – in the United Kingdom. JUSTICE seeks to inform debate, frame issues and influence decision-makers from across the political spectrum, in three keys ways:

  • Providing evidence-based analysis and proposing practical solutions to law-makers, judges and relevant public servants.
  • Strengthening the law and legal processes by reference to international and comparative best-practice, looking across jurisdictions, across types of law and across the legal profession.
  • Using the expertise of their membership to strengthen the understanding of the challenges arising in legal practice and of possible solutions, working with them to execute our vision.

Kalisher JUSTICE interns are given the opportunity to develop skills and experience within an established and respected legal charity. Interns work on a range of criminal justice matters, assisting with the development of policy, research and analysis to support JUSTICE’s arguments for or against law reform. The interns accompany JUSTICE at meetings with law-makers and NGOs, speaking engagements and events as well as court hearings. There is even the possibility for interns to assist in drafting submissions in a third party intervention.

Internships are based at JUSTICE’s London Office. One position is available per year, for a three month period between October and December. The intern is paid £5000 for this period.

The successful applicant for the 2020 position was Jazmine Lee. Shortly after completing her internship with JUSTICE, Jazmine was was offered pupillage at Crown Chambers in Hull.

Further details for future internships will be provided in due course.

 

JUSTICE’s internship programme is governed by the principles of equal opportunity.

  • “Both the Kalisher Trust and JUSTICE took a gamble in awarding the opportunity to a student with a Masters in criminal justice rather than the BPTC, but the experience has proved invaluable in informing my career path, as the criminal Bar is no light choice. The hands-on policy work provided an excellent basis on which to build a legal career. I’m hugely grateful to the Kalisher Trust for funding my internship at JUSTICE, and everyone involved in facilitating it – I wouldn’t have been able to do it otherwise”.
