Eligible host employers include 501c(3) non-profits or state or local government agencies. Over 50 organizations and government agencies have hired fellows, including: ACLU of VA, DC Office of the Attorney General, RFK Human Rights, and Veterans Education Success.<\/p>\n<h2>Nuts and Bolts of the Program<\/h2>\n<p>Georgetown Law works with eligible employers to advertise and recruit for these positions. Typically, Fellowship advertisements are finalized in early-January and are released to students in late-January. Fellowship interviews and hiring typically happens in late-February and through March. Georgetown is happy to support employers who need to recruit outside of this timeline.<\/p>\n<p>Host organizations must employ the fellow as a member of their staff (not a contractor or volunteer) and enter into a simple MOU with Georgetown (sample available upon request). Fellows do not need to have a formal \u201cproject\u201d and are free to work on almost anything in a legal and policy capacity. Fellows <em>may not<\/em> do explicit political campaigns or lobbying work.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, Fellowships begin in the fall following the Fellow\u2019s graduation from Georgetown Law. Some fellowships begin a few months earlier or later, but all must begin by February following the Fellow\u2019s graduation.<\/p>\n<p>Georgetown works closely with Fellows and host organizations throughout the one-year fellowship. Georgetown\u2019s career advisors provide ongoing support to Fellows regarding their post-fellowship and long-term career plans.
