Internship Opportunities with A4ID

About A4ID

A4ID (http://www.a4id.org) is a global charity, which tackles poverty through legal advice for disadvantaged people. It believes that law can, and should, be used more effectively to eradicate global poverty.

Very often a lack of access to legal expertise can reduce the impact of development organisations and in many instances the law itself can act as a barrier to sustainable international development. Therefore A4ID gives legal support to people who are involved in the fight against poverty, in particular to lawyers and development organisations.

A4ID focuses on:

• Pro bono legal advice
• Awareness raising about the role law can play in eradicating poverty
• Organisation of events aimed at raising awareness about the role law can play in fighting poverty including training programmes for practising lawyers
