Clinical Teaching Fellows are paid a stipend of $70,000 for their first year and $75,000 for their second year. Georgetown Law provides group health insurance, including dental and vision. Fellows also have unlimited free access to a state-of-the-art, on-site fitness center. As full-time students, fellows qualify for deferment of their student loans. Fellows may be eligible for loan repayment assistance from their law schools. More information about benefits for fellows can be found here.

Upon successful completion of the fellowship, fellows are awarded an LL.M. degree in Advocacy (tuition-free). During their first year, fellows pursue a program of graduate study through a seminar course on clinical pedagogy, taught collectively by the Georgetown clinical faculty. Fellows also may audit regular law school courses.

Fellows benefit from their affiliation with the broader clinical program at Georgetown Law and the Georgetown University communities. Georgetown is a vibrant institution with a deep commitment to public service and social justice, and the Law Center’s clinical program has an extensive alumni network to support and guide new fellows.
