Postgraduate Fellowships Handbook
Postgraduate fellowships are time-limited, full-time 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.
Project Fellowships
Project fellowships are unique in that the applicant, in partnership with their prospective employer, or host organization, develops a proposal for a legal project to be executed over the course of one to two years.
Institutional Fellowships
Institutional fellowships (also known as internally-funded fellowships) are more akin to time-limited staff attorney positions.
NYU Fellowships
NYU Law offers a number of postgraduate fellowships dedicated exclusively to graduating students and recent alumni.
