THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN LAW Clinical Fellows Program seeks applicants for a fellowship in its Michigan Innocence Clinic (MIC). This is a two-year appointment with the possibility of extension for a third year.

The Clinical Fellows Program is designed to fully support attorneys wishing to explore the possibility of a career in clinical teaching. Michigan Clinical Fellows gain valuable experience and mentoring in clinical pedagogy and in their substantive area of practice. Their duties include clinical teaching and student supervision in conjunction with clinic directors, and participation in the operation and development of the clinic in which they teach. Support is provided for personal and professional development and scholarship.

The Michigan Innocence Clinic works to exonerate defendants who have been wrongfully convicted in state or federal court in Michigan.

The Clinic opened in 2009 and has achieved victories securing freedom for 41 wrongfully convicted people.

Michigan’s Clinical Fellows salaries and benefits are very competitive. The fellowship begins in the late summer of 2024.

The visitor’s duties include teaching clinic classes year-round to juris doctor, masters, and LLM students and supervising those students in their work on transactional legal matters and a wide range of other renewable energy related projects from policy work to low-income solar project development. The visitor will report to the Director of the Energy Clinic and play a supporting role in working with the Director of the IEE and other Energy Clinic faculty in the operation of the Energy Clinic and the IEE.

A significant portion of the Clinic’s low-income solar project development work is done in our neighboring state of New Hampshire.

VLGS will consider applications with broadly defined expertise in energy law, land use law, and municipal government advocacy. Candidates should demonstrate evidence of or potential for strong, innovative, and engaged teaching.
