Deadline to Apply for the Rural Practice Summer Fellows and Rural Practice Associate Fellows Programs Is February 12
The ISBA’s newly created Rural Practice Fellowship Program aims to address the ongoing shortage of attorneys practicing in rural Illinois.
The deadline to apply for the Rural Practice Summer Fellows and Rural Practice Associate Fellows programs is February 12.
The Rural Practice Summer Fellows Program connects law students with rural practitioners to give them experience working in rural communities before they leave law school. The program includes a $5,000 fellowship stipend and mentoring.
The Rural Practice Associate Fellows Program places graduating law students and new attorneys as permanent associates with rural practitioners. The program includes a $5,000 stipend at the beginning of employment, and an additional $5,000 stipend if the associate is still working for the same firm after one year.
