Graduate Fellowship Program

The Fellowship Program places new associates from law firms at public interest law agencies in Illinois, where they are typically paid by their hiring firm to work for 300 hours between graduation and joining the firm. The Fellow will work on a wide and diverse range of issues depending on the agency where they serve. Will also work on transactional matters such as policy development and analysis, advocacy, impact litigation and more. Will work with the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship. Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the Clinic's general practice, from interviewing a potential client, to drafting an LLC operating agreement, to negotiating a storefront lease, to advising a client on the protectibility of the business's name. Fellows may also get involved in efforts to analyze and re-draft regulations that hinder many entrepreneurs. Fellows will be given substantive work to complete and will enjoy a great deal of contact with clients. Fellows will work under the supervision of the two IJ Clinic attorneys.
