Bard College – Anthony Lester Fellowships

The Anthony Lester Fellowships, launched in 2024 as a programme of The Human Rights Project at Bard College, support lawyers or law students undertaking practical fieldwork in human rights and the rule of law. These fellowships enable lawyers and law students early in their careers to undertake a project that helps effect practical change and are designed for those who may not otherwise have this opportunity.

The fellowships honour the memory and legacy of Anthony Lester QC (Lord Lester of Herne Hill), one of Britain’s most distinguished human rights lawyers.
