Spreading word about post-graduate legal fellowships with Brennan Center’s Justice Program
I received an email earlier this month from Lauren-Brooke Eisen, the Director of Justice Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, which I am happy to be able to share here to spread the word about fellowship opportunities:
Each year, the Brennan Center looks to partner with current law school students and judicial law clerks interested in applying for postgraduate legal fellowships. Such fellowships include those funded by programs like the Equal Justice Works, Skadden, and Kirkland & Ellis fellowship programs, and law-school-specific fellowships, like the Arthur Liman Public Interest Law Fellowship, the Robina Public Interest Fellowship at the University of Minnesota Law School, and the Columbia Law JD Public Interest and Government Fellowship, among others.
