[Call For Interns] National Law University, Delhi and Project 39A

About Project 39 A

Project 39A is a formal part of NLU Delhi and undertakes research and pro bono litigation efforts on issues concerning the criminal justice system in India. This effort is inspired by Article 39-A of the Indian Constitution and uses empirical research as an integral part of re-examining the criminal justice system. In its current scope of work, Project 39A aims to trigger new conversations on legal aid, torture, forensics, mental health and criminal law, and the death penalty.

Project 39A is keen to develop a robust and rewarding internship programme that will provide meaningful exposure to the complexities and nuances of the criminal justice system in India. Towards that aim, we are pleased to introduce our second internship policy, under which we seek to accept interns on a rolling basis from March 2022 to March 2023.

Eligibility:

The internship is open to students in India and other countries, enrolled in a recognized
undergraduate or post-graduate programme in the law, humanities, social sciences, management or
media and communications. Those enrolled in other programmes may apply but preference will be
given to those enrolled in programmes listed above.

Duration:

Internships are full-time and for a period of minimum 4 weeks to a maximum of 12 weeks. Candidates must indicate the exact dates in their application. Interns shall be based out of our offices on the NLU Delhi campus in Sector14, Dwarka, New Delhi 100078. While applications for part-time interns are considered, there is a strong preference in favour of full-time interns. Part-time interns, if selected, are required to intern for a minimum of 12 weeks.

Remuneration:

Interns will be paid a stipend of Rs 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) for every four week period of internship undergone. Interns on a part-time internship will be paid a stipend of Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand Only) for every four week period of internship undergone.
