Law students and recent law school graduates are eligible for the LCAC’s two-year fellowship position. The anticipated start date for an attorney fellow would be the summer or fall of 2021.
Applicants must be barred in Louisiana or willing to take the July 2021 bar exam. Applicants should send a cover letter, resume, writing sample, list of three references, and law school transcript to Linda Cortez, at hiring@thejusticecenter.org. Unofficial law school transcripts are sufficient. In the subject line of the email, please state the title of the position for which you are applying. We will accept applications on a rolling basis until filling the attorney fellow position.
The LCAC invites applications from law students and new lawyers who are interested in partnering with our office to pursue external fellowship funding. In the past, the LCAC has hosted recent law school graduates whose positions were funded by their law schools and by organizations such as Equal Justice Works, Soros, and Reprieve.
Applicants should send a cover letter, resume, writing sample, list of three references, and law school transcript to Lucy Kissel, at lkissel@thejusticecenter.org, with the subject line “Public Interest Fellowship Application.” In their cover letter, applicants should identify at least one possible funding source, and indicate whether the fellowship is project-based. If the fellowship is project-based, applicants should describe an issue they are interested in addressing. Unofficial law school transcripts are sufficient.
