The Jacob Burns Community Legal Clinics of The George Washington
University Law School announce the availability of new graduate
clinical fellowships for the academic years of 2013-15.  In
recognition of the generous gift of Philip Friedman, the Fellows are
known as Friedman Fellows.  Friedman Fellows obtain LL.M. degrees
while examining and engaging in clinical legal education and public
interest law.

The 2013-15 Friedman Fellowships begin in the summer of 2013.  Each
fellowship is affiliated with a specific law school clinic.  Although
the various clinics provide the fellows diverse responsibilities and
experiences, each provides the Fellow with opportunities to co-teach
and co-supervise, alongside experienced clinical faculty, the law
students enrolled in the clinic.

The Friedman Fellowship program enables every Fellow to learn about
clinical education and public interest lawyering through the practice
of engaging in each, teaching and supervising law students engaged in
these endeavors, and participating in a program of study in which
these are the primary topics of inquiry.  In the process, Fellows
receive mentorship and support from the clinical faculty and
administration, and the law school in general.

Fellows enroll in two year-long courses in Clinical Teaching and
Scholarship taught by the Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs and
other clinical faculty.  As part of this course sequence, Fellows
receive specific instruction and guidance in teaching and supervising
law students, and in writing a publishable thesis.  Fellows also
enroll part-time in other law school classes, and receive an LL.M.
degree upon completion of the class and thesis requirements of the
LL.M. program.

We are currently seeking applications from candidates with strong
academic, clinical, and lawyering experience.  We are especially
interested in applications from lawyers with background and experience
in the following areas: appellate advocacy, administrative advocacy,
criminal defense, post-conviction re-entry, housing law, family law,
domestic violence, public benefits, employment law, civil litigation, transactional law, and community economic development law.  Fellows receive an annual stipend
between $45,000 and $50,000, tuition remission for the LL.M. program,
health insurance and other benefits, and possible student loan
deferment.  Fellows must be members of a state bar.  Candidates who
are not members of the D.C. Bar must be eligible for immediate waiver
into the D.C. Bar.

Applicants should send letters of interest, resumes, a list of
references, and a complete law school transcript by October 24, 2012
to Associate Dean Phyllis Goldfarb.  The preferred submission method
is by email to clinicadmin@law.gwu.edu. In the alternative,
applications can be mailed to the Jacob Burns Community Legal Clinics
