The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) invites applications for a full-time (contractual) role of an Executive- Administration (Clinics and Fellowships), for a period of one year (extendable based on performance).

About the Programme

The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) has received a multi-year grant from the Azim Premji Foundation (APF) to support programmes on Clinical Legal Education (CLE) and Litigation Fellowships. The CLE programme will expand the work of our existing Clinics on child rights and statelessness and launch new Clinics, starting this year with one Clinic each in labour, caste, and criminal justice. The Clinics will introduce innovative pedagogical methods to teaching law, expose our students to diverse practices and issues of social concern, and drive and inspire legal interventions geared towards furthering constitutional goals and guarantees.

The Litigation Fellowship will offer technical and financial support to early-career lawyers, especially first-generation lawyers from underrepresented sections of society, for a period of two years. Through bespoke skill-building sessions and thoughtfully designed mentorship arrangements, the fellowship aims to support the professional advancement of otherwise disadvantaged lawyers and contribute to diversifying legal practice in India.
