The Arthur Liman Summer Fellowship Program
The Liman Summer Fellowship gives students the opportunity to work at substantive summer internships in the field of public interest law. Students work in diverse settings with lawyers and advocates. Examples include work on issues such as children’s rights, immigrants’ rights, workers’ rights, prison conditions, voting rights, consumers’ rights, low income housing, civil rights, educational adequacy, and juvenile justice. Placements can include organizations providing civil or criminal legal services to individuals, representation of particular groups, entities focused on problems of legal and public policy, and law-related media.
All currently-enrolled students are eligible to apply, including seniors wishing to work the summer immediately following their graduation.
The Liman Program provides all summer fellows with:
* A $3,000 stipend for a summer internship.
* Assistance with internship placement.
* Connections to a wide range of prominent organizations across the United States. Recent internships have included: All Our Kin (New Haven, CT); The Bronx Defenders (New York, NY); The Electronic Frontier Foundation (San Francisco, CA); Human Rights First (New York, NY); National Center for Youth Law (Oakland, CA); USPIRG (Washington, DC); Youth Rights Media (New Haven, CT); and many others.
Summer Fellows have the opportunity to participate in the Liman Public Interest Law Colloquium, an annual event held at Yale Law School that brings together advocates, scholars, and students from across the country for a day-long discussion on public interest topics such as low-wage workers and workfare, the role of mass media in public interest advocacy, and policies of incarceration. Through their involvement with the Liman Program, Summer Fellows become part of a large network of public interest advocates.
Applications for Summer 2010 fellowships must be submitted by December 4, 2009 at 5pm.
