Internships & Fellowships


Internships

NIJC is now accepting applications for spring law student internships through the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI). We have closed the application process for summer undergraduate and law student internships.

NIJC offers internships to law students and undergraduate students to work in a variety of its different legal services programs including legal services. The internships present an excellent opportunity to learn more about U.S. immigration law and policies while making a difference in the lives of low-income and impoverished individuals who are in need of legal representation. Please see our internship page for more details.

 

Fellowships

The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) invites rising third-year law students and recent law graduates to join us as legal fellows for up to two years, beginning in the fall of 2025.

  • NIJC is currently accepting applications for 2025-2027 Schreiber Fellowships. Read about the Schreiber program and apply here.
  • While the deadline for most other fellowship programs (Equal Justice Works, the Skadden Foundation, Soros Fellowships) has passed, NIJC remains interested in and committed to considering applications for individuals with independent funding, for example from their law school.  NIJC will consider those applications on a rolling basis. To apply, please send a resume, letter of interest, law school transcripts, and writing sample via the application form.
