2010-2012 Seton Hall Law School Center for Social Justice Clinical Fellow

Seton Hall University School of Law is seeking applications for a Clinical Fellow to work in our Center for Social Justice from July/August 2010 to July/August 2012.  The Clinical Fellow will work primarily with two professors within the Center for Social Justice:  Lori A. Nessel, Director of the Center for Social Justice and Co-Professor in the Immigrants’
Rights/International Human Rights Clinic and Jenny-Brooke Condon, Professor in the new Equal Justice Clinic.  The Immigrants’
Rights/International Human Rights Clinic focuses on a range of human rights and immigration cases including: political asylum; trafficking; Violence Against Women Act petitions; day laborer wage theft claims; petitions and amicus briefs before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, Inter-American Court on Human Rights, and European Court on Human Rights; and, human rights fact-finding and reporting.  The Equal Justice Clinic handles a variety of direct service and impact litigation involving civil and human rights with a primary focus on the rights of immigrants,
women, and other historically vulnerable groups.   The Fellow will also be
responsible for assisting with the Haiti Rule of Law Project.

The Fellowship provides a unique opportunity to gain clinical teaching and public interest litigation experience in a supportive academic/law school environment, while working closely with Professors in the Immigrants’
Rights/International Human Rights and Equal Justice Clinics.  The Clinical Fellow will assist with client intake, all aspects of immigration, civil, and human rights litigation, supervision of clinical students, and the teaching of clinical seminars.  In addition, the Clinical Fellow will be responsible for the preparation of colloquia and community training manuals, networking with community and national immigration and civil rights advocacy groups, and case coverage during the summer months.

All applicants must be members of a state Bar; New Jersey bar membership is preferred but not required.  All applicants should have a strong academic record, and excellent writing and oral communication skills.
While we welcome applications from new attorneys, strong preference will be given to applicants who had a clinical experience or other public interest service during law school, a clerkship, and/or relevant post-graduate litigation experience. Annual salary is $60,000 plus benefits, including medical insurance.
