- The project’s potential for practical application in the beneficiary’s country of origin, preference being given to projects relating to the drafting of national laws or which aim at promoting the adoption of uniform law instruments;
- The candidate’s qualifications (“graduate” or “post-graduate”) and position (academic, civil servant, judge, practitioner);
