Fellowships

Justice Catalyst administers one-year, potentially renewable, project-based fellowships for graduating law students, or graduates up to two years out of law school, to support innovative public interest legal work. Most projects are hosted at U.S. nonprofits, but we have also supported projects at government agencies, unions, firms doing work in the public interest, and more.

Meet our current fellows here, and find application forms below, along with an information sheet, webinar, and FAQs.

We also administer a joint fellowship with Public Rights Project for state, local, and tribal government projects. Learn more here.

For questions about being or hosting a fellow, please contact fellowships@justicecatalyst.org
