Application Procedure

There is no application form. Applicants must submit an application package consisting of the following documents:

• A cover letter that indicates:

1. the desired term;
2. a short statement about how the applicant expects to benefit from the program and   what the applicant hopes to contribute to the organization; and
3. a brief description of areas of interest and knowledge of law

• Curriculum vitae
• A letter of recommendation from a professor or senior professional
• Copies of academic transcripts
• Proof of proficiency in a PCA working language (for non-native speakers of a PCA working language only)

To be considered, application packages must be complete. If all the above-listed documents are not available to the applicant before the application deadline, the missing documents may be submitted separately provided that the cover letter clearly notes an expected follow-up date.

Application packages may be submitted either electronically or in hard copy. We do recommend, however, that electronically-submitted applications be followed up with a hard copy sent in the mail. See “Contact and Other Information” below for e-mail and postal address.

Candidates who are accepted for a Fellowship must provide proof of funding for the year and proof of health insurance prior to the commencement of the Fellowship.
