Stanford Fellowship

The Stanford Legal Clinic invites applicants for a clinical teaching fellowship in its Immigrants’ Rights Clinic (“IRC”). The fellow will have the opportunity to be part of the thriving clinical community at Stanford Law School where, together with the clinical faculty and other fellows, the fellow will represent clients and supervise and train law students who are representing clients. One of the ten clinical programs constituting the Stanford Legal Clinic, the IRC represents individual non-citizen clients in a variety of matters. These include asylum proceedings, immigration court hearings on behalf of non-citizens with criminal convictions, and applications to secure status for non-citizen survivors of domestic violence. The IRC also conducts legal advocacy on behalf of immigrants’ rights organizations in a variety of areas, including advocating for immigrants in detention, impact litigation on behalf of immigrants, assisting local organizations with grassroots organizing, developing and distributing know-your-rights materials, legislative advocacy, and enabling immigrants’ rights groups to access legal services. More information about the IRC can be found at www.law.stanford.edu/clinics/irc.
