Volunteer, Job & Fellowship Opportunities

Positions Available at ELC

Applications are due 10/9/09 for the K&L Gates Fellowship, for a law student interested in working in our Pittsburgh office in summer 2010. Click here for additional information.
Fellowships for recent law graduates interested in developing a project to be carried out at ELC are sometimes available through such programs as the Skadden Fellowship Foundation, Equal Justice Works, and the Independence Foundation Public Interest Law Fellowship Program. Applications are usually due in the fall for fellowships beginning the following summer or fall. Interested graduates should review the application process and contact ELC to discuss a proposed project.
Fellowships are also sometimes available for non-legal professionals in fields related to ELC’s work, through programs such as the Stoneleigh Center and Philly Fellows.
We’re happy to receive applications from law students who are interested in interning at the Center, on a volunteer basis, during the summer. The best time to contact us about summer internships is in the fall.

Attorneys willing to accept an occasional pro bono case from ELC are invited to fill out our attorney survey. ELC provides assistance to volunteer attorneys. If you’re willing to take at least one pro bono case per year, we will also add your name to our referral list for families able to pay legal fees.
Attorneys who represent children in special education cases are also invited to join our pro bono speakers’ panel, which provides training to parents and organizations on special education law.
