The Fellowship program began in Uganda when Professor Brauch and current Uganda Supreme Court Justice Mike Chibita became friends at a Christian Legal Society Conference. At that time, Justice Chibita was the Director of Public Proseuction (DPP) in Uganda – the equivalent of the Attorney General of Uganda. Under his leadership, Uganda began to take the issue of human trafficking and child sacrifice seriously. The Fellowship program began in 2017, when then-DPP Chibita invited Regent students to work with him at the DPP’s office and assist in cases involving child sacrifice and human trafficking. Due to Covid and following Justice Chibita’s appointment to the Supreme Court, the Fellowship program took a pause from 2020-2024, but students have continued to intern at the DPP’s office and the Uganda Supreme Court during the summers.

Currently, the 2025-2026 Fellow is living and working on campus at Uganda Christian University (UCU), supporting their clinical work and serving as legal counsel with Kyampisi Childcare Ministries (KCM) to combat and prosecute the practice of ritual child sacrifice in Uganda.

The Center for Global Justice Fellow works on campus at the law school to assist the Director with legal and admin work, trainings around the Commonwealth, overseeing student research projects and preparing students for their summer internships. The CGJ Fellow will gain invaluable entry-level skills, while working in an environment that fosters spiritual, professional, and personal growth.
