The Society of Conservative Lawyers is offering a Scholarship which will be awarded to a candidate with a real interest in both law and policy and who wants to engage with legal issues arising from the decision to leave the EU.

The Scholar will be closely involved with the work of the Society at a time of huge challenges in both government and the legal profession.

The Lyell Scholar will be asked to undertake research of a high quality involving the preparation of draft research papers and collating relevant materials from internet and library sources.

The research will cover contemporary legal and political issues. At this stage it is envisaged that the Scholar would be asked to assist with research papers on legal issues which arise from the decision to leave the European Union in conjunction with, and under the direction of, a senior practising lawyer. The Scholar may also be asked to assist with other society research projects and flexibility is required.

The location and hours are flexible.

An average commitment of 12 hours a week between 1st February 2018 and 31st July 2018 would be expected.
