2022 Justice John Paul Stevens Fellowships
Announcement of Application Process for NEW Fellowships at Nonprofits
Applications Now Open:
Deadline: 11pm Eastern on Wednesday, March 30, 2022
The John Paul Stevens Foundation is delighted to announce the inaugural year of Justice John Paul Stevens Public Interest Fellowships to support four law students doing summer internships focused on substantive issues that were of great importance to Justice Stevens. The Foundation is opening an opportunity for law students from 24 law schools to apply for a Stevens Fellowship at the following four organizations:
• Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence (Washington DC)
• Capital Appeals Project (Louisiana)
• Northern California Innocence Project (California)
• Regional Public Defender for Capital Cases (Texas)
There will be one Stevens Fellow selected for each of these organizations. Each Fellow will receive a $6,000 stipend for the summer. The stipend cannot be combined with other funding from the student’s law school; it can be combined with other sources of summer funding external to the law school. Please see more information about the organizations and internships in the final pages of this announcement.
