Public Interest Law Fellowships
Through the Public Interest Law Fellowship, a Cardinal Quarter opportunity, students have the opportunity to spend a summer working full time for nine weeks in the field of public interest law with a supervisor/mentor in a domestic U.S. public interest organization (nonprofit or governmental) of their choice.
Four Public Interest Law fellows will be designated as Liman Fellows. The Liman Summer Fellowship is coordinated by the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program at Yale Law School, and offers students an opportunity to participate in public interest law projects. Liman Fellows have worked on issues such as immigrants’ rights, workers’ rights, prison conditions, educational adequacy, and juvenile justice. Liman Fellows are required to attend the annual Liman Public Interest Colloquium at Yale Law School (expenses paid), and will be incorporated into a cohort of fellows from Barnard, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Harvard, Morehouse, Princeton, Spelman, Stanford, and Yale.
Each Public Interest Law Fellow receives a base stipend of $7000 to support travel and living expenses during the fellowship. Financial aid and supplemental funding are available to students who qualify.
