If you are driven to utilize your legal expertise to combat governmental overreach and advocate for individual rights, this is an unparalleled opportunity. As integral members of litigation teams, Fellows collaborate with seasoned attorneys to develop innovative and intellectually robust cases in both federal and state courts nationwide. Fellows engage directly with clients and are involved in all phases of the litigation process. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities for impactful work.
Beyond the courtroom, Fellows can engage in media writing, public speaking, grassroots advocacy, and direct engagement with policymakers. Throughout the Fellowship, participants will benefit from mentorship, specialized media training, and a supportive, collegial work environment.
What Qualities Does the Institute for Justice Seek in Legal Advocacy Fellows?
- Outstanding writing and communication skills;
- A commitment to creating tangible societal impact and a willingness to explore innovative strategies for winning complex cases;

- Judicial clerkship experience is preferred but not mandatory. The Institute offers tiered bonuses for candidates with clerkship experience in federal or state courts.
