The Liman Undergraduate Summer Fellowships application for 2024 is now open with a deadline of January 28.
Liman Summer Fellowships give students the opportunity to work for 8–10 weeks at public interest organizations related to law. Public interest law includes direct services, such as helping people who cannot afford attorneys. It can also include advocacy and policy work. (As a Liman Summer Fellow, your primary work cannot be clerical). Host organizations serve the public good in a variety of ways. Many provide lawyers for people who cannot afford them. Some advocate on behalf of underserved communities. Others shape public policy. Organizations must be in the United States. For examples of potential organizations, take a look at previous summer fellows.
All Summer Fellows must submit a final report, usually by early September.
As a Fellow, you will take part in the Liman Colloquium, held every spring at Yale Law School, where you will join students, scholars, and advocates from around the country. Even after your fellowship, you will be part of this nationwide network of leaders.
