Judicial Fellowship Program

Profile

Judicial Fellowship Program

The Honorable Judge George W. Overton

Division : Orphan’s Court

The program provides high caliber law graduates with substantive experience in the law, and to support the Court in carrying out key functions. Fellows volunteer their time, have the same responsibilities as regular paid judicial law clerks, and gain the benefit of training by judges in the Philadelphia courts. Judicial fellows' service helps our high volume court system maintain its superior quality of service to the Philadelphia community. Judges help judicial fellows by mentoring and providing legal experience that will enhance their competitiveness for paid employment as new lawyers. Judicial fellowships may be awarded to law school graduates from any accredited law school who are applying within the first two years of graduation. Will work a minimum of 20 hrs per week.
