ABA LogoIf folks are looking for a job that could afford them the opportunity to help guide the future of the justice system as a whole, the American Bar Association is seeking fellows.

The Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship Program sponsored by the ABA’s Criminal Justice Section gives lawyers the opportunity to work with the Diversity and Inclusion Committee and another Criminal Justice Section subcommittee of their choice.

The Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship Program provides opportunities for lawyers in under-represented groups such as ethnically diverse lawyers, persons with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, to actively participate within the Criminal Justice Section and prepare them to take on leadership roles within the Section.

Fellows will attend leadership meetings and “complete, at least, one project each year designed to further the goals and objectives of the Section, such as organizing a Continuing Legal Education (‘CLE’) event (e.g., webinar or panel) or publishing an article in a CJS publication.”

If you’re interested in applying, here’s the link. Applications are due July 31.
