The American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources is pleased to announce the sponsorship of several Diversity Fellowships for law students during the summer of 2010. The ABA Diversity Fellowship in Environmental Law program is designed to encourage disadvantaged or traditionally underrepresented law students to study and pursue careers in environmental and/or land use law and is open to first and second year law students and third year night students. Please feel free to forward this message on to anyone you know who may be interested in this opportunity.
The program will fund two summer internships at a government agency or public interest organization in Florida with a stipend of $5,000 each. The stipend does not cover travel expenses or include a housing allowance; these expenses are paid by the Fellowship recipient. The Fellowship guidelines require an 8-10 week internship (40 hours per week) commitment wherein the recipient will work on legal matters for a government agency or a public interest organization in the fields of environment, energy, natural resources and/or land use law. In addition, each recipient will be expected to attend the Annual Update meeting of the ELULS and will be assigned a mentor from the Section to aid in the pursuit of a career in environmental and/or land use law.
