Job Opportunities with the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law

Student Summer 2025 Fellowship Program

Posted: November 26, 2024

Description:

The Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law engages in research, public education, advocacy, organizing, and litigation, through an abolitionist lens, to advance its mission of challenging racial injustice in all its forms and shaping how people understand, diagnose, and address issues of race and inequality across all sectors of our society. We are seeking applications from 1L, 2L, and LLM students for our summer Student Fellowship Program, to take place during the summer of 2025.

Student Fellows will conduct research into topics around race and inequality for use in advocacy, litigation, and public education under the guidance and supervision of Center leadership; assist with the planning and execution of the Center’s events; and otherwise contribute to the Center’s community-facing work more generally. Student Fellows will be expected to apply for PILC funding to secure financial support for the duration of the summer fellowship. Student Fellows may have the opportunity to meet and work with practitioners, advocates, and scholars engaged in work within the racial justice space. The expected time commitment is an average of 40 hours per week over 10 weeks. Over the course of the summer, Student Fellows will have the opportunity to work to varying degrees with the Center’s Faculty Directors, Executive Director, and post-graduate fellows.
