American Society of International Law Fellowships

The American Society of International Law (ASIL) invites its Academic Partners and Law Firm Sponsors to refer applicants for three International Law Fellow positions at the ASIL headquarters in Washington, DC. The Fellows will be responsible for implementing a number of the Society's research, education, and outreach programs. The positions are full-time, unpaid, and of a 6- to 12-month duration. They are intended for recent law graduates in the early stages of an international legal career and in particular for those deferring the start-date of permanent employment due to the economic downturn.

INTERNATIONAL LAW FELLOW RESPONSIBILITIES:

International Law Fellows will work under the direct supervision of the ASIL Executive Director and will be responsible for the implementation of a number of ASIL research, education, and outreach programs. Responsibilities may include development and implementation of continuing legal education programs for Society members; support for ASIL’s judicial outreach program, including coordination of judicial training programs and the development and revision of educational materials on international law for the judiciary; the development of a new website providing resources for international law teaching; support for ASIL’s careers in international law program; organization of regular Tillar House briefings on current issues in international law; and general research and editorial support for ASIL publications, including ASIL Insights, International Law in Brief, the American Journal of International Law, International Legal Materials, ASIL Studies in Transnational Legal Policy, and the ASIL Discussion Paper series.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Successful applicants will have a graduate degree in law (J.D. or LL.M.), strong writing and editorial skills, experience working in a professional environment and on program implementation, and a demonstrated interest in international law. Experience working on a journal and coursework or work experience in international law are strongly preferred. Positions require the ability, initiative, and judgment to work independently and to implement successfully projects from beginning to end.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, unedited writing sample (no more than a 10-page excerpt), and references to jobs@asil.org, with “Law Fellow” in the subject line, by October 29, 2010.
