[Lawdiversity] Defender Services Diversity Fellowship Program

[Sanders, Nicholas R]

Good afternoon,

The Defender Services Office has announced its 2024 – 2026 Defender Services Non-Capital Diversity Fellowship Program and is seeking applications from 3L and 4L students graduating this year and recent law school graduates for 12 non-capital fellowships.

The application deadline is Monday, December 11, 2023, with selected fellows beginning in September 2024.  I've attached an informational flyer to this e-mail and a description of the program below.  Application information can be found here<https://diversityfellowship.fd.org/2024-2026-non-capital-program-application>.

Best,
Nick

About the Diversity Fellowship Program

The Fellowship Program will seek to enhance the quality of representation provided under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) by creating a pipeline of diverse attorneys qualified to join Federal Defender Organizations or CJA panels. Diversity among CJA counsel supports the cultural competency necessary to meet the needs of a diverse clientele and can lead to better case outcomes by fostering greater trust on the part of CJA clients.

The Non-Capital Fellowship Program will place 12 fellows in Federal Defender host offices across the country for two years, during which fellows will gain federal criminal defense training and experience to allow them to represent clients in non-capital CJA cases. Fellows will matriculate as a class. Each class will have a number of opportunities for joint training, mentorship, and other group activities. Fellows will receive a salary and benefits. The salary range for non-capital fellows will be the Judiciary Salary Plan (JSP) 11/1, 12/1, or 13/1, depending on experience, which is comparable to the federal General Schedule (GS) pay scale. The salary will also reflect locality  adjustments.
