To apply for a fellowship with LCD, you must be dedicated to public interest law and have experience, or a strong interest in, working with low-income individuals.

We host law students and lawyers for fellowships funded by the Independence Foundation, the Skadden Fellowship Foundation, and Equal Justice Works.

Fellows work directly with our experienced staff attorneys and carry their own caseloads. They gain valuable experience in providing a wide range of services, from brief advice and counsel to representation at administrative hearings, judicial proceedings, and appeals. Fellows can also be involved in LCD’s policy and advocacy work. Past fellows have provided crucial advocacy for our clients, contributed greatly to our development, and many have become long-term members of our staff.

To apply please send: 

• a cover letter 
• your resume 
• two brief legal samples 
• two references

Applications are accepted throughout the year. Please send your information to:
