The CTFC summer law student fellowship is a paid position, dependent on experience. Work setting will be remote. Preferred start date is the first week of July to August 31th, with some flexibility. The weekly schedule is flexible with a minimum of 30 hours a week. CTFC is looking for a rising 2L or 3L. CTFC is an equal opportunity employer - Native law students are strongly encouraged to apply.
