Leadership program for young legal professionals in Romania (12th edition)
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation's Rule of Law Programme South East Europe is calling for applications for the 12th edition of the Leadership Programme for Young Lawyers in Romania - Leaders for Justice.
The programme is open to young lawyers between 22 and 35 years of age in the first 5 years of their professional career, master's students and law students in their final year of study. Twenty young lawyers with leadership potential will be selected.
Leaders for Justice focuses on developing leadership skills and knowledge, a better understanding of the legal profession (through interaction with participants and graduates of the programme) and the justice system as a whole (through meetings with professionals in the field), as well as identifying solutions to problems in the justice system and in Romanian society as a whole.
Your application must contain:
- a CV,
- a one-page cover letter,
- an essay of maximum two pages in which you present, at your choice, a change that you want to implement for the benefit of the justice system, your profession or the institution in which you work. Identify a specific problem (an acute need, something that bothers you deeply), come up with concrete solutions (sustainable in the medium and long term) that reflect the change and describe how you bring your contribution, show how the system/institution/profession should look like after the implementation of the change.
Documents should be written in Romanian, font size 11 and 1.5 line spacing.
