The Global Pro Bono Bar Association is accepting applications on a rolling basis for law students and recent graduates seeking to develop insight and experience in public international law, legal education, and public interest advocacy by serving in the GPIL Fellows Program. 

GPIL Fellows will assist in the coordination of the Global Public Interest Lawyering (GPIL) Program, including close engagement with the review and revision of content related to public international law and other relevant topics.  Opportunities may arise to engage with legal professionals and scholars from around the world in a collaborative environment. 

Successful applicants will be expected to make a commitment to serving as a GPIL Fellow for a set period (12 months or 6 months is preferred, but 3 months may be considered for excellent candidates) in an unpaid volunteer capacity.  Although GPIL Fellows are unpaid, The Global Pro Bono Bar Association is open to working with students to demonstrate where applicable requirements have been met to obtain institutional funding (e.g., from law schools, law firms, etc.) or scholarships where appropriate. 

Prospective candidates may apply via the application form appended to the GPIL Program Overview available at the link below:
