As these positions are specifically for advanced research in environmental law, persons without a law degree should not seek pre-approval.

Once approval to apply has been given, Professor Zahar will give directions to applicants on how to submit their application to the university. Applicants should be aware that if they are short listed they will be interviewed by a specially appointed panel of legal experts.
