The International Bar Association (IBA) has launched a call for applications from young lawyers for scholarships to attend the IBA 2024 Annual Conference in Mexico City.

Applications are accepted until April 30.

The scholarship entitles the applicant to participate in the event free of charge, covers accommodation costs and (partially) travel expenses.

The scholarship is open to young attorneys (up to 35 years old) or lawyers who have passed the relevant qualification procedures.

IBA membership is not a prerequisite for participation in the selection process. However, the scholarship winner will receive a two-year complimentary IBA membership and will be exempt from paying the registration fee for the next IBA Annual Conference or from paying the registration fee for participation in an IBA-organized industry conference.

The list of documents and detailed terms of the scholarship competition can be found on the IBA website.

If you have any questions, please contact the organizers at divisions@int-bar.org.
