SIU Job Number:
 3211
Firm or Agency:
 Georgetown University Law Center
Job Title:
 Associate Attorney
Duties:
  The Appellate Litigation Program offers two graduate fellowships for LL.M. candidates interested in training as appellate advocates in the federal and D.C. courts. In addition to arguing at least two cases in the federal courts of appeals, the fellows work with students on cases pending in the D.C. courts, the federal courts of appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. The fellows supervise student written work and oral advocacy preparation in order to enhance the student learning process and to develop the fellows' own skills as clinicians and litigators. Fellows also participate in the Appellate Litigation Program's weekly seminar. The fellows and the director jointly teach the seminar, exploring many aspects of appellate procedure and professional responsibility. The fellowship provides an opportunity to prepare the candidate for a career in teaching, litigation, or both. The emphasis of the program is determined by the fellow and the director. There are two Appellate Litigation Fellowships, with one starting each year. The next fellowship that will become available is set to begin in the summer of 2010. We will accept applications for the next available fellowship between September 1 and December 1, 2009.
