Hi talented lawyer friends! MacArthur’s Supreme Court & Appellate program is hiring for three appellate fellowship positions, and I’m hoping you can spread the word to your recent law school grad friends. These positions are ideal for someone coming off a clerkship or another fellowship (unfortunately, current law students can’t apply).

• A one-year fellowship focused on combating sexual assault in prison through strategic appellate litigation, amicus work, and communications strategy. That posting is live here, and hiring is beginning immediately.
• A two-year fellowship focused on building MacArthur’s docket in state courts of appeal and supreme courts, focusing on expanding protections for prisoners and criminal defendants under state constitutions.
• A two-year fellowship focused on expanding the scope of Kingsley v. Hendrickson, 576 U.S. 389 (2015) (lowering mens rea for excessive force claims in pretrial detention facilities), to other kinds of facilities (including immigration detention centers) and other kinds of prison conditions claims (including denial of medical care and failure to protect claims).

All positions will start in the spring (ideally February or March). Fellows can work from either our DC or our Chicago offices once it's safe to be in person. And salary range is $50,000 for one year of experience up to $95,000, depending on experience (all positions require at least one year of experience). For more information, please contact:
