You can help victims of atrocity crimes pursue justice where they live by joining our team, establishing an institutional partnership, or donating. However you choose to contribute, please also sign up for updates about our work.

Join Our Team

Legal Fellowships

PJI regularly seeks candidates with excellent written and oral communication skills and a keen interest in PJI’s mission to apply for legal fellowships with PJI’s sponsorship. Ideal candidates have a demonstrated interest in international human rights law or international criminal law and are completing their final year of graduate law study (such as JD or LLM students), judicial clerks, or recent law graduates with an LLB and equivalent professional experience.

In coordination with other members of the PJI legal team, a legal fellow conducts factual and legal research relating to situations where PJI works or is considering working and assists with planning and executing trainings and other capacity-building work with local partners. Additional duties may include strategic interventions, community outreach, coalition building, writing and publishing reports, planning and participating in public meetings, legislative research, and social media engagement.

PJI will begin accepting applications for the 2027-28 academic year in December 2026.

Legal Internships

Summer Internships for Law Students

PJI welcomes applications from students completing a graduate degree in law (such as a JD or LLM) or with an undergraduate degree in law (such as an LLB) with equivalent professional experience to serve as interns for a 10-week period from (roughly) June to August each year. Exceptional law students who do not meet all of these qualifications perfectly may be considered. These positions are unpaid and work from home. Although the substance of the work that a legal intern does will depend greatly on our project needs at the time of the internship, much of the work will involve legal research and writing. Please be aware that much of our work is related to domestic litigation in various jurisdictions. As a result, research assignments may relate more often to evidence, procedure, and domestic law than to matters of international crimes or human rights law.

PJI will begin accepting applications for the 2027 term in December 2026.

Institutional Partnerships

PJI partners with outside law firms, investigation firms, law clinics, and others who provide significant pro bono resources to help PJI advance justice for victims of atrocities crimes in their home jurisdictions.

If your institution may be interested in providing pro bono support for PJI’s work, please email probono@partnersinjustice.org. 

Your support ensures that we can continue to work with national practitioners and bring justice to the survivors and victims of the most serious crimes in their own countries.
