Fellowships
Student law clerks and new attorneys supported by fellowships continually bring new energy and ideas to the programs of the LAS–ELC. Fellows are welcomed as staff members, mentored as they implement new projects, and their many contributions are highly valued.
Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center is pleased to invite applications for sponsorship of a Skadden Fellow for the two-year period beginning in September 2013. The two-year fellowship offers a recent law school graduate the opportunity to obtain training in litigation as well as many other aspects of public interest practice. The Skadden Fellowship Foundation awards approximately 25 fellowships per year to graduating law students and outgoing judicial clerks.
Legal Aid seeks to sponsor a candidate to work within our Wage and Hour Enforcement Litigation Program (WageHELP). Applicants are encouraged to propose and discuss project ideas in this program area which works to ensure that all workers benefit from the protections of wage and hour law. We will accept applications through Monday, June 25, 2012. Please prepare a detailed cover letter describing your interest in the organization and the Fellowship. Send it along with your resume, transcript, a list of three references, and two writing samples to:
- Skadden Fellowship Committee
- Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center
