Description
The Information Access Clinic (ISP) at Yale Law School is now accepting applications for a fellowship position with the Media Freedom & Information Access Clinic (MFIA). MFIA is a law student clinic dedicated to increasing government transparency, defending the essential work of news gatherers, and protecting freedom of expression. It fulfills this mission by providing pro bono legal services, pursuing impact litigation, and developing policy initiatives. Since its founding in 2009 as the first law school clinic dedicated to defending the rights of newsgatherers and promoting government transparency, the MFIA Clinic has litigated cases on the cutting edge of digital free expression and achieved successes for a wide range of clients, from individual investigative journalists and major news organizations to whistleblowers, scholars, and non-profit advocacy organizations.
Applications for the MFIA Clinical Fellowship will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning January 16, 2024. Applications should include:
- A statement of no more than three (3) pages describing the applicant’s interest in the fellowship, relevant practice experience, and career goals;
- A copy of the applicant’s resume;
