CVLC Seeking Fellowship Candidates

We are currently seeking applicants to sponsor for both the Skadden and Equal Justice Works Fellowships.  Although not required, applicants for a CVLC sponsorship are encouraged to submit proposals for possible fellowship projects.

For both fellowships, applicants must be third year law students or recent graduates completing judicial clerkships.  Successful CVLC candidates must also be strong researchers and writers with a proven academic record, have demonstrated experience with or interest in legal causes and remedies to veteran homelessness, creativity and enthusiastic curiosity, and a willingness to sit for the State Bar of Connecticut. Most of all, applicants must possess a passion for social justice and an excitement about serving veterans.

We would love to hear from veterans, people of color, people with disabilities, women, and LGBTQ individuals. CVLC will make reasonable accommodations for applicants and employees with disabilities.

To Apply: 

Please send a cover letter, resume, academic transcript, writing sample, a list of three references, and a brief summary of a fellowship proposal (if applicable) to Liam Brennan at applicants@ctveteranslegal.org. Please do not hesitate to email with questions.

Applications for both fellowships are due in mid-September.  Please submit your materials to CVLC by July 31 so that we can work with you on a joint proposal.
