Amicus runs various volunteer placement programmes. The UK Office Volunteer placements are based in our London office and revolve around the needs of the office at the time, generally administrative. US General Placement volunteers are assigned to Amicus affiliated capital defence offices in the US for a minimum of three months to support the office and work on death row cases. We recruit for both placements on a rolling basis; there are no deadlines as the need is year-round. 

We do not currently have any bursaries available. Take a look below for bursaries that have been awarded previously. 

The Prudhoe Caribbean Amicus Bursary:

An Exciting Opportunity For Caribbean Region and Bermuda Residents


The Prudhoe Caribbean Amicus Bursary: An Exciting Opportunity For Caribbean Region and Bermuda Residents

Prudhoe Caribbean are a law firm based out of Turks and Caicos Islands and focus on complex and cross-border representations. Prudhoe Caribbean are offering an exclusive bursary for one candidate from the Caribbean Region and Bermuda (with preference being given to indigenous Islanders) to undertake Amicus’s US General Volunteer Placement. Our US Placements offer a varied and hands on international opportunity to assist with real death penalty cases in the US.

The successful candidate would ideally be an indigenous Islander, and attend the second weekend of Amicus’s Autumn Death Penalty Training in London free of charge (travel and accommodation not covered). Consideration would be given to a pre-payment of part of the bursary monies for travel costs. They will then go on to undertake their US General Placement in one of our 20 affiliate offices in the United States.


Applications are no longer open for this unique opportunity. Please refer back to this page at a later date for more details. 


Kalisher Trust Bursary



Who are The Kalisher Trust?

The Kalisher Trust exists to help people qualify as barristers and begin their professional career at the Criminal Bar. Set up in 1996, the Kalisher Trust provides opportunities to gain experience in a range of relevant fields to  talented students from non-traditional backgrounds who often face significant financial hardship.  Previous Kalisher internships have been awarded in partnership with Justice, the Death Penalty Project, the Criminal Cases Review Commission, and the Sentencing Academy. 


The Placement:

The Kalisher Trust funded internship with Amicus will take place over a consecutive three or four-month period (start date to be discussed with applicants at interview) and will be based in an Amicus-affiliated capital defence office in the US. Interns will receive an award from the Trust of £5,000 towards their travel and living expenses once the overseas placement has been confirmed.
