Frohlich Scholarship to support the Permanent Court of Arbitration

Overview

The objective of the award is to provide support to a current student, or graduate of the ANU College of Law, undertaking a 12 month Fellowship with the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague, Netherlands.

The award is intended to assist with the cost of living expenses while the recipient works as an Assistant Legal Counsel with the PCA's International Bureau. The recipient will assist with international arbitrations administered by the PCA, carry out legal research and drafting, and otherwise provide legal advice and services as directed by Legal Counsel within the PCA. The 12 month Fellowship will commence in February.

Due to the travel restrictions in place in Australia, the ANU recipient will need to complete the fellowship remotely, from Australia.
