MLegal is launching a Graduate Associate Fellowship to develop the next generation of Muslim legal thinkers and advocates. The Fellowship provides a pathway for young graduates to gain direct exposure to the legal and policy debates shaping Britain today - from equality and freedom of expression to counter-terrorism and Islamophobia. This is not an internship or employment scheme, but a voluntary associate role. It combines learning, mentorship, and contribution, giving graduates the chance to deepen their skills while contributing to MLegal’s research and advocacy.

What Associates Gain:

• Exposure to high-level legal and policy discussions.
• Mentorship from experienced practitioners in law, policy, and advocacy.
• Practical experience contributing to research, policy notes, and briefings.
• Recognition: credit on published outputs, LinkedIn endorsements.
• Community: membership of a network of like-minded peers committed to justice and equality.

What We Expect:

Commitment: minimum around 3–5 hours per week (flexible, remote).

Duration: 3 months (renewable on mutual agreement).

Tasks may include:

- Joining monthly roundtable calls.

- Supporting research (case notes, literature reviews, policy scans).

- Contributing to drafting advocacy materials.

Values: commitment to equality, justice, and respectful collaboration.

Confidentiality: associates must keep MLegal discussions private.

Structure & Support Rolling intake of associates throughout the year. Onboarding with an induction pack (values, expectations, safeguarding, confidentiality).

Coordination by the Policy & Advocacy Lead. Recognition of contributions on MLegal’s platforms and at key events.

We welcome applications from graduates in all disciplines who have a strong interest in justice, equality, and rights. No prior legal training is required - only curiosity, critical thinking, and commitment.

There is no fixed deadline; applications will be considered as they are received throughout the year.
