The Francis D. Murnaghan, Jr. Appellate Advocacy Fellowship is awarded annually to a recent law graduate who has completed a judicial clerkship.  The Fellow must have passed a state bar examination and be eligible for admission to the bar of that state by the commencement of the Fellowship.  Applicants should possess excellent research and writing skills and a demonstrable commitment to social justice.

To apply for the 2011-2012 Fellowship (beginning September 2011), applicants should submit a resume, law school transcript, the names of three professional or academic references, and a brief statement of interest. We request this application by October 16, 2010.
