The Immigrants’ Rights Clinic (IRC) of the Mills Legal Clinic at Stanford Law School has an immediate opening for a Program Fellow. The purpose of this new Fellowship is to support the expansion of the IRC’s capacity to respond to the urgent needs of the immigrant community— including members of the Stanford community—in light of recent developments, including the executive actions undertaken by the Trump administration. A successful candidate will need to have significant legal training, either as a J.D. or as a professional paralegal. This is a one-year, fixed term position, with the possibility of a second year, dependent on need and budget. 

The Program Fellow will divide his/her time between programmatic and administrative support for the work of the IRC. It is anticipated that approximately 50% of the role involves substantive immigrants’ rights research and programming, such as legal research and tracking nationwide litigation developments. The other half of the Fellow’s time will be spent providing administrative support to IRC operations. This support will range from preparing court and federal agency filings, maintaining and updating the IRC website, and processing financial transactions in the university’s system. The Program Fellow will work in collaboration with two Clinical Supervising Attorneys and report to Professor Jayashri Srikantiah, director of the IRC with appropriate reporting to the clinic’s Associate Director. 

Mills Legal Clinic fellowship attorneys are part of the intellectual community within the clinical program, Stanford Law School, and Stanford University at large. The Program Fellow will be invited to attend, time and workload permitting, weekly faculty workshops at which scholars from Stanford and throughout the world present research and works in progress. The Law School also provides resources for its lawyers to participate in continuing education and other professional development activities. 

The IRC is one of ten clinics comprising the Mills Legal Clinic, which occupies an entire floor in an award-winning central campus building opened in summer 2011. The Stanford clinical program is distinctive in that students participate in a clinic on a full-time basis; the clinic is the only course a student takes during the term of enrollment. The IRC engages in litigation and other advocacy strategies to advance the rights and interests of immigrant individuals and communities. 

POSITION REQUIREMENTS 

Applicants must have: 

• Bachelor’s degree (J.D. strongly preferred)

​​​FELLOWSHIP DESCRIPTION

The Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic (ENRLC) is pleased to invite eligible candidates to apply for a two-year Clinic Fellow position from June 1, 2017 through May 31, 2019. The fellowship combines the opportunity to obtain an LLM degree in Environmental Law from one of the leading environmental law programs in the nation with the opportunity to work with experienced environmental practitioners and students in a clinical setting focused on public interest work. The fellowship includes a full tuition waiver and a stipend of approximately $35,000 to cover living expenses.

In addition to pursuing the LLM degree, the Clinic Fellow is expected to work part-time (at least 20 hours per week) in the ENRLC.

This project, the Partnership for Justice, is a joint effort between the ENRLC and Toxics Action Center, a non-profit organization that assists community groups throughout northern New England with organization, outreach, media, and strategy development. The ENRLC's primary role is to engage in comprehensive legal analysis, provide sound legal advice to community groups, and help them navigate the regulatory processes applicable to their situation. In appropriate instances, the Fellow may also lay the groundwork for litigation, although this fellowship is not necessarily a litigation-oriented position. The Clinic Fellow will work closely with the ENRLC Director and other clinic faculty and staff to represent clients and supervise student clinicians. The Fellow's responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

Working with and supervising student clinicians to provide legal assistance to help community groups in northern New England, including analyzing the maze of federal and state environmental laws, regulations, and administrative processes that apply to proposed industrial projects, contaminated site cleanups, and other pollution-related projects;

Communicating with Toxics Action Center and community groups to provide legal counseling and advice in person or through other means, including at night and on weekends;

Managing the partnership between ENRLC and Toxics Action Center, including taking a lead role in administrative, contracting, and grant funding reporting duties;

Working with the ENRLC Director to support and promote the project, including planning for future funding for the project;

Working with Toxics Action Center to identify local counsel for community groups when necessary and to expand the list of experts, scientists, engineers and attorneys who will provide their services to community groups for free or at a reduced rate in the region;

Supporting a referral system by which individuals and groups who contact the ENRLC for legal assistance in addressing toxic pollution in New England are referred to Toxics Action Center for community organizing assistance; and

Participating in the day-to-day life of the ENRLC, including weekly staff meetings, seminars, and strategy sessions.

The Fellow may also choose to participate in a teaching practicum for academic credit in which s/he assists Clinic faculty in teaching student clinicians.

Therefore, the curriculum integrates practical experience, professional responsibility, and lawyering skills with doctrinal study at every level.

First-year students engage in experiential learning through simulation exercises conducted in a required year-long Lawyering seminar. Upper-level students take an advanced one-semester Lawyering seminar in a public interest law area of their choice involving an expanded array of professional roles including advocate, mediator, transactional lawyer, and judge. Prior to graduation, all students earn 10-16 credits in either a live-client clinic onsite at the Law School or a practice clinic, a unique seminar and field placement program.

In 2015, the law school launched a part-time evening program, further supporting its dual mission to graduate excellent public interest lawyers and improve access to the legal profession for members of traditionally underrepresented groups. Beginning in 2015, the law school received approval for dual degree programs in law and forensic psychology (JD/MA), inspection and oversight (JD/MPA), and international relations (JD/MIA) with highly respected graduate programs of the City University of New York.
