Post-Graduate Fellowships

Post-graduate fellowships are full-time, time-limited positions that are generally awarded at or near the beginning of your legal career. They provide unique opportunities for new lawyers to start and expand their legal careers.

At PILC, we work closely with NYU Law students and alumni to identify and apply to a wide variety of post-graduate fellowships.

NYU Law offers a number of post-graduate project and organizational fellowships exclusively for its graduating NYU Law students and alumni

Project fellowships are unique that the applicant, in partnership with a host organization, develops a proposal for a legal project to be executed over the course of one to two years.

Internally-funded fellowships (sometimes referred to as organizational fellowships) are essentially time-limited staff attorney positions.
