Applicants to the Georgetown Law Research Fellowships have to demonstrate an outstanding aptitude for independent legal research, through prior research as a law student or legal experience after law school. We expect that candidates will have widely varied intellectual interests, and may wish to pursue research ranging across the full spectrum of legal theory. We seek candidates who can bring under-represented perspectives to the development of legal scholarship and increase the diversity of the law teaching profession.
