Georgetown Law Fellowship

The Center for Applied Legal Studies (CALS) at Georgetown Law has announced the availability of its two-year 2010-12 Fellowship. As you know, the person who receives this Fellowship will co-teach in CALS, the asylum law clinic at Georgetown (along with Professor Phil Schrag, Prof. Andrew Schoenholtz, and after his return from federal service, Prof. David Koplow). The Fellow will also write a publishable law review article. Most of the Fellows who have gone through this program since it began in 1981 have gone on to become law professors (some teaching clinics, some not). The Fellowship has proved to be an excellent bridge from immigration practice to an academic career. This fellowship is not appropriate for students who are just graduating from law school, as the candidate must be a member of a bar at the time of application. Most successful candidates have had at least a few years experience practicing immigration law in an NGO, a law firm, or the government. The Fellowship announcement is posted at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/clinics/cals/calsfell.html
