ACLU PI Fellowship

The most recent installment in the Cool Job o' the Day series: the ACLU Marvin M. Karpatkin Fellowship in Civil Liberties. This one-year fellowship is open to recent law school graduates. It looks like it would provide unparalleled public interest/civil liberties litigation experience, and it even comes with a decent paycheck. "Decent" being a relative term; public interest pay scales are, um, not impressive to the average lawyer, it seems. For the past three years I've been living on $15-20k annually, so anything above $30k is decent in my book. Combine this with a Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP), and I could be a very happy public interest lawyer. Of course, I have to get in to law school, first. Those damned details....

Hey, where did you end up going to school? I start this fall too... In Chicago, and not at UC. :)

I ended up at George Washington U. in D.C. I've been less than thrilled, but it was the best I could do rank-wise and transferring just isn't worth it at this point.

Best of luck in Chicago! I'll look forward to following your progress there.
