The Peggy
Browning Fellowship Program provides stipends to 60 to 70 law students who
dedicate their summer to advancing the cause of workers' rights by working for
labor unions, worker centers, the U.S. Department of Labor, union-side law
firms and other nonprofit organizations. Summer Fellowship stipends will be a
minimum of $5,000 per student for the ten-week employment period. In many
cases, mentor organizations will supplement the stipend.
The Peggy
Browning Fund works closely with their mentor organizations to ensure that each
fellow experiences unique and challenging work assignments. Fellows gain the
practical skills required to represent workers and enjoy opportunities to
network with their peers and leaders in the field of public interest labor
law.
The ten-week
summer fellowship is available to 1st and 2nd year law students. The deadline
to apply is January 17, 2014. Go to http://www.peggybrowningfund.org/fellowships for more
