Women's Law and Public Policy Fellowship

Each year the Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program (WLPPFP) at the Georgetown University Law Center offers numerous fellowship positions providing educational and professional development opportunities for attorneys who are dedicated to using their legal talents to advance women's rights. Two types of fellowships are offered:

• A 12 month work experience, where fellows work on women's legal issues with a public interest organization, a governmental agency, or as a clinical teaching fellow at Georgetown Law. The deadline for this fellowship is Monday, November 2, 2009.
• The Leadership and Advocacy for Women in Africa (LAWA) Fellowship, allows women's rights lawyers from Africa to earn a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree from Georgetown Law focusing on international women’s human rights, and then participate in a post-graduation summer legal internship experience before returning home after the fellowship to continue advancing women’s rights in their own countries. The application deadline for the LAWA Program is Wednesday, September 30, 2009.
