Institute for Free Speech
Description
Description:
The Institute for Free Speech’s First Amendment Fellowship allows recent law school
graduates, judicial clerks, and mid-career attorneys the chance to gain practical
experience litigating constitutional challenges. Fellows will work alongside the Institute’s
attorneys to tackle all aspects of trial and appellate practice in cases challenging
restrictions on Americans’ rights to freely speak, publish, assemble, and petition.
Fellowships are for one year, typically beginning September 1, and are intended to
prepare attorneys for careers in constitutional advocacy. The fellowship is excellent
preparation for a judicial clerkship, a career change, a public interest litigation career,
academia, or private practice. It can also lead to a permanent position at the Institute for
Free Speech.
Application Info:
Applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, law school transcript, three references, and a writing sample to Allen Dickerson, the Institute’s Legal Director, at adickerson@ifs.org. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
