Summer Fellowship Program

The Young Lawyers Division is offering two fellowships for the summer of 2012 to law students who are interested in working in public interest law or the government sector. The fellowship awards are intended to provide the opportunity for law students to work for public interest entities or in the government sector. The fellowship awards, depending on the circumstances of the position, and could be up to $3,000 for the summer.

In order to be eligible, applicants must be a current law student in good standing with their school. Applications for the fellowship must include: (1) a letter of interest that details the student’s interest in public interest law or the government sector; (2) a resume; and (3) a written offer of employment for an unpaid legal position in public interest law or the government sector for the summer of 2012.
