Criminal justice volunteering opportunity for BVS students (or those who have completed it)

There are 5 openings at Evolve – each of those for 6 months. Recruits will need to commit a minimum of 8 hours per week (remote).

Evolve is a criminal justice development organisation led by barristers in the UK working pro bono to improve access to justice and build the capacity of criminal advocates, judges,
and institutions in Uganda through the provision of training and mentoring.

Volunteers would join the capital cases and legal research teams to provide support to lawyers appearing in capital cases at the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

Tasks will include drafting briefs for counsel, preparing evidence spreadsheets and conducting legal research.

Who is this ideal for?

The Evolve Team are looking for five dedicated, self-motivated and very competent
individuals who have completed or are in the process of completing the Bar Course.
Candidates must have an interest in criminal law, have the ability to assimilate information
quickly and complete tasks to a high standard.

How do I apply?

Please send a covering letter and C.V. to contact@evolvefila.org. Applications
close on 31 March 2025. Interviews will take place shortly thereafter.
