Atticus Fellowships

Spotlight on an Atticus Fellow, Josephine

Find out how you can support an Atticus Fellow:

---

Atticus Fellowships fund the careers of ‘Development Lawyers’. 

​A ‘Development Lawyer’ is a junior public interest legal practitioner who works from within an African Protimos legal hub, serving local impoverished communities whose resource rights are threatened or infringed.  
​
The Atticus Fellowship enables such lawyers to develop their expertise for the benefit of the communities from which they are drawn. 

​This shapes a fairer, healthier society, applying legal skills at the intersections of traditional, local and international human rights law, business and environmental protection.
