The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) is seeking up to three (3) Minority Law Fellows to spend up to eight (8) weeks working in a criminal defense law practice. The purpose of the fellowship is to increase diversity in the criminal defense bar by giving underrepresented populations an opportunity to gain experience in a criminal defense law practice.
Fellows will be matched with NACDL members, exceptional, experienced criminal defense attorneys, in either Washington, DC or New York City. Fellows will actively intern in the assigned criminal defense law office and will be invited to participate in NACDL events and networking opportunities throughout the summer. Fellows should be law students with a strong, demonstrable interest in criminal defense. Fellows will receive a weekly stipend of $500.
Interested applicants should send a resume, cover letter, and writing sample via email to Malia Brink, Counsel for Special Projects at Malia@nacdl.org. Applications will be reviewed beginning April 21, 2010.
