VLS / Admissions / Tuition & Financial Aid / Fellowships / ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES LAW CLINIC TOXICS FELLOWSHIP FELLOWSHIP DESCRIPTION The Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic (ENRLC) is pleased to invite eligible candidates to apply for a two-year Clinic Fellow position from June 1, 2017 through May 31, 2019. The fellowship combines the opportunity to obtain an LLM degree in Environmental Law from one of the leading environmental law programs in the nation with the opportunity to work with experienced environmental practitioners and students in a clinical setting focused on public interest work. The fellowship includes a full tuition waiver and a stipend of approximately $35,000 to cover living expenses. In addition to pursuing the LLM degree, the Clinic Fellow is expected to work part-time (at least 20 hours per week) in the ENRLC. The Fellow will take a lead role in managing a project designed to provide assistance to communities faced with toxic pollution problems throughout northern New England. This project, the Partnership for Justice, is a joint effort between the ENRLC and Toxics Action Center, a non-profit organization that assists community groups throughout northern New England with organization, outreach, media, and strategy development. The ENRLC's primary role is to engage in comprehensive legal analysis, provide sound legal advice to community groups, and help them navigate the regulatory processes applicable to their situation. In appropriate instances, the Fellow may also lay the groundwork for litigation, although this fellowship is not necessarily a litigation-oriented position. The Clinic Fellow will work closely with the ENRLC Director and other clinic faculty and staff to represent clients and supervise student clinicians. The Fellow's responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: Working with and supervising student clinicians to provide legal assistance to help community groups in northern New England, including analyzing the maze of federal and state environmental laws, regulations, and administrative processes that apply to proposed industrial projects, contaminated site cleanups, and other pollution-related projects; Communicating with Toxics Action Center and community groups to provide legal counseling and advice in person or through other means, including at night and on weekends; Managing the partnership between ENRLC and Toxics Action Center, including taking a lead role in administrative, contracting, and grant funding reporting duties; Working with the ENRLC Director to support and promote the project, including planning for future funding for the project; Working with Toxics Action Center to identify local counsel for community groups when necessary and to expand the list of experts, scientists, engineers and attorneys who will provide their services to community groups for free or at a reduced rate in the region; Supporting a referral system by which individuals and groups who contact the ENRLC for legal assistance in addressing toxic pollution in New England are referred to Toxics Action Center for community organizing assistance; and Participating in the day-to-day life of the ENRLC, including weekly staff meetings, seminars, and strategy sessions. The Fellow may also choose to participate in a teaching practicum for academic credit in which s/he assists Clinic faculty in teaching student clinicians. The teaching practicum offers opportunities to teach in both a traditional classroom setting for the clinic's weekly seminar class and in a clinical role as a supervising attorney to help guide and mentor students in their work on clinic cases and projects.

STATE OF MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT TO APPLICANTS SEEKING A POSITION AS A LAW CLERK WITH THE MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT FOR THE 2018-2019 TERM SUPREME COURT The Minnesota Supreme Court is the highest court of the State of Minnesota and consists of seven justices. It has discretionary review of cases from the Minnesota Court of Appeals. It has direct appellate jurisdiction over cases involving first-degree murder convictions, as well as cases from the Tax Court and Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals. It has original jurisdiction over attorney-discipline matters and certain election cases. The court sits at the Minnesota Judicial Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. Oral arguments are regularly scheduled during the first two weeks of every month from September through June. The court will hire law clerks for one year, which generally extends from August 1 to July 31 of the following year. Approximately 11 clerkships will be offered for the August 2018 through July 2019 term. With the exception of the Chief Justice, who has two law clerks, each justice has one law clerk and a law clerk that he or she “shares” with another member of the court. The three “shared clerks” regularly work on cases with two of the justices throughout the year. SUPREME COURT LAW CLERK DUTIES: Candidates apply to the court as a whole. Interviews take place with the entire court and justices select law clerks in order of seniority. Successful candidates accept a position with a particular justice or justices, but they also serve the court as a whole. During months when the court is in session, a law clerk is typically assigned one or two cases, and the clerk is expected to prepare a bench memorandum in the assigned case(s) that is distributed to the entire court in advance of oral argument. Law clerks will attend oral arguments in their assigned case(s) and, often, in other cases of interest or importance. Law clerks also serve as court marshals for hearings. After the case is heard and the justices determine how to resolve the case in conference, law clerks work closely with their justice on the preparation of an opinion. Law clerks also perform cite checks on the court’s opinions and orders throughout the year. Depending on the justice, clerks may also be given additional assignments during the clerkship. QUALIFICATIONS: The minimum academic requirement for application is enrollment as a second-year law student. Graduation from an accredited law school is required to begin employment. Professional skills and scholastic proficiency are both considered. Strong writing and research skills are essential. Experience on a law review or law journal is preferred. The court will select its law clerks after it reviews applications and conducts interviews. SALARY AND BENEFITS: The anticipated salary for the 2018 - 2019 term is $60,740. An excellent State of Minnesota benefits package and contract parking are available. Also available is reduced-priced public transportation. Visit http://mn.gov/mmb/segip/ for current benefit information. TO APPLY: Apply online at www.mncourts.gov by attaching a cover letter, resume, and legal writing sample to the online application. Please arrange for your official transcript, with class rank, if available, to be mailed or e-mailed directly from your Registrar’s Office to the address listed below.

ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY - LAND USE SHARE USAO CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL DIVISION, LAND USE ATTORNEY LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 UNITED STATES 2017-2 About the Office: The United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California (USAO) is responsible for representing the federal government in virtually all litigation involving the United States in the Central District of California. This includes criminal prosecutions for violations of federal law, civil lawsuits by and against the government, and actions to collect judgments and restitution on behalf of victims and taxpayers. With an authorized strength of approximately 280 Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs), the USAO is the second largest in the country. The USAO is divided into four litigating Divisions (Criminal, National Security, Civil, and Tax). The USAO's main offices are in Los Angeles. The USAO's Criminal Division has branch offices in Santa Ana and Riverside. Job Description: AUSAs in the Civil Division are responsible for representing the federal government and its agencies and employees in civil litigation in the District. In addition to general civil litigation duties as assigned, the incumbent’s practice will focus on land cases, including working with the DOJ Lands Acquisition Section to acquire real estate by direct condemnation for public uses (such as national parks and military bases); prosecuting civil actions against responsible parties to recover fire suppression costs and other damages caused by fires involving federal lands; and protecting federal agencies’ interests in lands, including liens secured by real property located in the District. These cases often present complex legal and factual questions and require the incumbent to work closely with federal agencies and experts to perform complex cost and environmental damage assessments and resolve property valuation issues. AUSAs in the Civil Division are active at both the trial and appellate levels, taking depositions, preparing and answering interrogatories, negotiating for settlement, engaging in motions practice, trying cases, and writing and arguing appeals. Qualifications: Required qualifications: Applicants must possess a J.D. degree, be an active member of the bar (any jurisdiction), and have at least 3 years post-J.D. experience. If not already an active member of the California bar, any applicant hired will be required to take (prior to their entry on duty date) and subsequently pass the California bar exam. AUSAs must become active members of the California bar and maintain California bar membership. Preferred qualifications: Hiring for AUSA positions within the USAO is highly competitive. The USAO seeks a diverse complement of lawyers with a wide range of exceptional skills and experience, unified by keen intelligence and sincere commitment to public interest. Litigation experience, superior academic record, excellent writing skills, impeccable character, demonstrated interest in public service, courtroom presence, and the ability to work with and relate to a wide variety of people are all taken into account. Most attorneys hired have several years of experience, although highly qualified recent graduates with some experience in practice or as a judicial clerk are also considered. Ties to the Central District of California will be considered. All initial attorney appointments to the Department of Justice are made on a 14 month (temporary) basis pending favorable adjudication of a background investigation. Salary: AUSA pay is administratively determined based, in part, on the number years of professional attorney experience. The range of basic pay is $51,811 to $121,569 plus locality pay where authorized. Travel: Travel may be required between 1-5 nights per month or more depending on the needs of any particular case assignment, both within and outside the district. Application Process: Attorneys seeking a position as an AUSA should complete the PDF application found at https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/employment/attorneyslawyers and create a second PDF containing a cover letter to the attention of Acting First Assistant United States Attorney Sandra Brown, resume, law school transcript, and brief writing sample (preferably 10 pages or less).

POSITION DESCRIPTION Start your legal career in a court system recognized as one of the best in the nation and enhance your future career prospects. Professional law clerk positions are available in the New Jersey Judiciary for individuals with strong communication and analytical skills. Supreme Court law clerks work with justices on complex cases involving difficult issues of law. Appellate Division law clerks conduct research, analyze legal data, prepare legal memoranda, process emergent motion applications, and proofread published opinions. Law clerks for assignment judges learn all aspects of court administration and assist with processing emergent motions. Trial court law clerks gain practical experience while gaining valuable insight into the judicial process. Under the direction of one or more judges over the course of the year, trial court law clerks observe judicial proceedings, attend conferences with attorneys and judges, receive training in mediation and mediate small claims cases and summarize information for judges. Tax Court law clerks perform duties similar to those assigned to law clerks in the Appellate Division and trial courts, but do not mediate cases. NOTE: Law clerks may hold outside employment with prior approval as provided in the Code of Conduct for Judiciary Employees. The Code is available online at http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/rules/appemploy.htm. REQUIREMENTS EDUCATION: Law clerks must have graduated from a law school approved by the American Bar Association by the time of their law clerk appointment. The Judiciary’s law clerkship program is intended for recent law school graduates who have not yet engaged in the practice of law. Selected candidates will be required to provide an official, final law school transcript, not a photocopy, which includes the date of graduation from their law school at the time of hire. Excellent writing and analytical skills are essential. MEDIATION TRAINING: It is helpful to have completed a course in mediation prior to the start of the clerkship. Under Court Rule, all trial court law clerks who will serve as mediators must first complete the Judiciary sponsored 12-hour mediation training or its equivalent. Applicants selected for clerkships can request a waiver from attending the Judiciary’s training program at the start of the court term by providing documentation that confirms that they successfully completed an approved alternative dispute resolution course. DRIVER’S LICENSE: Appointee will be required to possess a driver's license valid in New Jersey only if the operation of a vehicle, rather than employee mobility, is necessary to perform essential duties of the position. SPECIAL NOTE: Individuals selected for clerkships must agree to a thorough background check, which will include fingerprinting. All data received will be kept in the strictest confidence except to inform the individual of the findings and what action will be taken as a result of this information. AUTHORIZATION TO WORK: US citizenship is not required. Selected candidate must be authorized to work in the US according to Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations. RESIDENCY LAW: Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:14-7 (L. 2011, Chapter 70), also known as the “New Jersey First Act,” all persons newly hired by the Judiciary must establish, and then maintain, principal residence in the State of New Jersey. Law clerks are not subject to the residency law during their 53 week term. Additionally, law clerks who serve a second clerkship in a higher court are exempt from the residency requirement. Clerks who anticipate moving into another state position immediately following their clerkship(s) must be mindful that, upon conclusion of their clerkship term, they will need to be New Jersey residents. INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS Approximately 480 clerkships are available. Of those, a limited number of clerkships exist for the Supreme Court, Superior Court Appellate Division, Superior Court Assignment Judges, Superior Court Chancery Division in general equity court, and in the Tax Court. Applicants interested in those positions should apply early during the hiring process. Most openings exist in the Superior Court Law Division in civil and criminal court, and Superior Court Chancery Division in family court. For additional information see the Judiciary’s website at www.judiciary.state.nj.us/lawclerks. Minorities, women, individuals with disabilities and other protected class members are encouraged to apply. NOTE: Individuals who have served or are currently serving a trial court or Tax Court clerkshipmay be eligible to serve an additional one- year clerkship in the Appellate Division or Supreme Court. HOW TO APPLY There are two ways to apply for a clerkship. Applicants are encouraged to apply early as indicated below. Applicants may send a cover letter and resume directly to individual justices and judges. These documents should include the month and year the juris doctor degree will be awarded and any specific area of interest of law.
