Internship - Chambers/Case Law Database

Overview

Interns will support the Chambers Working Group (CWG) in relation to the Case Law Database (CLD) Project, contributing to the creation of a database of the Court’s jurisprudence by extracting legal findings and identifying keywords.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth legal analysis of judgments, decisions and orders to extract key legal findings and identify jurisprudential importance.
• Identify relevant legal keywords for legal findings.
• Identify relationships between related judgments, decisions and orders.
• Collect, organise, and collate other assorted metadata fields for legal findings.
• Participate in meetings and substantive discussions on issues arising in the CLD Project.
• Cite-check and edit documents.
• Assist in the development of other language versions of the CLD.
• Perform other tasks, as requested by the CWG Coordinator.

Required Experience

Practical experience is not an essential prerequisite for selection. Should there be a practical experience that is relevant to the work of the Court, it may be considered an asset. Applicants must have less than three years of relevant full-time professional experience to be considered for an internship.

Qualifications

Candidates must have a degree in law or a relevant legal qualification of a recognised university, demonstrating very good knowledge in international/national criminal law, comparative law and criminology, public international law, international humanitarian law or human rights. Candidates are expected to have a very good record of academic performance.
