Graduate Fellowship Program

Profile

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. Fellows will be trained to provide legal advice and/or referrals to the program's clients through the hotline and also through the After Hours Legal Advice Desks. Will have opportunities to do legal research and drafting. Will also have the opportunity to assist the staff attorney who provides representation on Orders of Protection and other family law matters. Fellows are encouraged to accompany to all continuing legal education programs, Bar association meetings and advisory board meetings to familiarize each Fellow with the program, the larger operation, and with the larger legal aid community.
