Fellowships

We invite law students and recent law school graduates interested in a public interest legal career to partner with Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles to pursue both external and school-based fellowships.

LAFLA has a long tradition of successfully hosting fellows sponsored by various programs, including Skadden, Equal Justice Works, and individual schools.

We will consider proposals from well-qualified applicants in any of our practice areas and look favorably on proposals with a strong pro bono component.

Fellowship Application Procedure

Applications for the Equal Justice Works Design Your Own Fellowship Program, the Skadden Foundation Fellowship Program, and school-based fellowship programs are reviewed on a rolling basis. To apply, please email your resume, unofficial transcript, writing sample, and a letter describing potential projects to fellowships@lafla.org. Please also include in your application the description of the fellowship offered by your law school (including compensation, duration, etc.).
