Applicants must demonstrate
a commitment to equal justice and equal opportunity for
all. Applicants should be dedicated to the deployment of
innovative strategies (including non-litigation strategies)
in addressing entrenched or cutting edge racial, national
origin and gender discrimination matters. Applicants for
the 2009-2010 Fellowship must graduate from law school by
June 2009. Preference will be given to those who have been
admitted to the bar or are scheduled to take a bar examination

to a leave of absence or sabbatical program.
Applicants
must not have been engaged in the active practice of law
for more than two years. Preference will be given to applicants
who can demonstrate involvement in scholarship, activities
or employment which promote racial, national origin, gender,
or economic justice for the most excluded people in our
society.
