Registration for the International Court of Justice Fellowship Programme 2024 are now open. The Judicial Fellowship Programme, formerly known as the University Internship Programme, was created in 1999 to enable recent law graduates to gain professional experience working for the International Court of Justice. The programme aims to improve participants' understanding of public international law in practice and the Court's procedures by involving them directly in the Court's activities.

Judicial Fellows work full-time under the supervision of a Member of the Court, together with the Member's principal legal assistant. Fellows may conduct research and draft memoranda on questions of law or fact relating to cases pending before the Court, attend hearings and sessions, and perform any other duties that may be assigned to them by their respective judges.

The fellowship lasts approximately ten months, from the beginning of September to June of the following year. The Court usually selects 15 participants nominated by universities from around the world.

Financing

  • Trust fund awards exist and are intended exclusively to benefit candidates nominated by universities based in developing countries, which do not have the means to provide financial sponsorship.

Eligibility

  • To be eligible, applicants must be 31 years old or younger at the start of the scholarship. This requirement can only be waived in special circumstances.
  • Candidates must demonstrate excellent results in their legal studies and an interest in public international law through their studies, publications and/or professional experience.
  • Candidates must have an excellent command, both written and oral, of at least one of the Court's two official languages (English and French); a working knowledge of the other language is considered an advantage.
