The South Asian Institute of Advanced Legal and Human Rights Studies (SAILS) is initiating a Human Rights Law Clinic, first of its kind in Bangladesh. This will be an ongoing activity.

The Clinic aims to provide a platform for training and mentoring of students and fresh graduates of Law and Human Rights (who are available for volunteer works) on legal research, analysis and writing, pro bono human rights works and legal services, legal and judicial activism, serving justice seekers among other issues.

Renowned Jurists, Legal Academics, and Practitioners affiliated with international and national organizations will be providing training and mentorship.

Applications are now being accepted for enlisting the first batch of Student-Volunteers.

The interested individuals are hereby invited to submit/forward their applications accompanied by: (1) Cover letter addressed to the Director of SAILS, (2) Resume (Maximum one page, which should include applicants’ Name, Contact Details, Academic Qualifications, Trainings/Volunteers Activities etc.), and (3) Statement of Purpose (maximum 500 words) by post or e-mail to the below address. The deadline is 30 June 2012.

After review of applications, the short-listed candidates shall be invited for interviews. The tenure (e.g., three to six months), individual or group project(s), and other details for a finally selected candidate will be designed/scheduled considering her/his availability for a voluntary assignment and activity/project planned. For the selected candidates, training and workshops will be organized (preferably, during weekends and holidays).
