Deadline: September 22, 2023, 11:59 pm Eastern. The Gideon's Promise Law School Partnership Project is a fellowship that provides recent law school graduates committed to a career in public defense with continuing legal education (C.L.E.) training and guaranteed permanent employment in a partner public defense office upon program completion. Note that, if you are selected as a Gideon’s Promise Fellow, you must apply for funding through the Public Service Venture Fund, as Gideon’s Promise positions are otherwise unfunded. As a result, the only offices that are eligible are those that aren’t conducting any entry-level hiring. Eligible offices to date include: Knox County Public Defender’s Community Law Office. 

The ACLU runs multiple different organization-based fellowships for specific targeted litigation (Brennan First Amendment/National Security, Technology, and Privacy; Karpatkin Racial Justice Fellowship is now 2 yrs, etc.). Familiarity with their ongoing litigation and latest policy advocacy, as well as highlighting your writing and research skills, are key for integrating into their team hiring. Sign up for advising with Judy Murciano by making a Fellowship appointment.

Please note that some deadlines vary by host country. Check the national deadline for your host country to determine which internal deadline you must meet. Project proposal should be endemic to the host country, detailed in methodology, and positioned as a “novel contribution to the field” driven by “why” and “how” questions for critical analysis. Besides the three letters of recommendation for a Fulbright (preferably 2 of the 3 from HLS Faculty), you will need a Letter of Affiliation from the host country (faculty from institute of higher learning/NGO), a language form from someone who has taught the host’s official language, and a Campus Evaluation (discuss with Judy Murciano in a fellowship advising appointment or during drop-in office hours). Submit your drafts for review well in advance of the internal deadline.

This form is critical and must be ready for uploading together with your transcript and resume (and a certification of veterans’ preference, Native American status, or specially granted accommodations)  before you take the PMF exam; 3) Take the exam early and in one sitting.
