Facts About the Summer Fellowship Program
1) Qualifying organizations include non-profits that serve public interest purposes, local and federal government agencies, and the judiciary. Students must be doing legal work under direct supervision of a licensed attorney.
Individuals or others seeking legal assistance, private law firms and for-profit organizations do not qualify. If your organization has not previously hosted a fellow, you will need prior approval from Ms. Bauman.
2) First-year law students are categorically eligible for the stipend. If funds are available, upper class students may be eligible.
3) Students must work at least 400 hours work by the end of the summer. They can earn up to $4000 from the law school. Supervising attorneys provide a mid-term and final evaluation, and certify student time records. Students must complete the application process with Ms. Bauman and have their placement approved before they are eligible for funding.
