Description
On July 6, 2016, Equal Justice Works opened its application process for two-year fellowships beginning in September of 2017. Public Knowledge encourages third year law students and others who qualify to submit an application for an EJW fellowship with PK as a host.
Public Knowledge has a robust fellowship program and hosts 5-8 fellows each year with a variety of sponsors. PK provides fellows with diverse and substantive experiences from legal research and writing to advocating before policy makers. Fellows also receive mentoring and are part of a peer group.
EJW requires applicants to design a new project that focuses on legal advocacy on behalf of disenfranchised individuals, groups, or issues not adequately represented in our legal system. Candidates must have a demonstrated interest in public interest work and internet and communications issues.
Public Knowledge promotes freedom of expression, an open internet, and access to affordable communications tools and creative works both in the U.S. and globally. We work to shape policy on behalf of the public interest. Applications must suggest projects that are within or closely related to PK’s issue areas.
More information on the application process can be found here.
