| Description: |
The Legal Department of the Johns Hopkins Health System and Johns Hopkins Medicine is committed to recruiting, developing, retaining, and promoting competent and dedicated lawyers. We believe that a diverse group of talented legal professionals is critically important to the success of our department, our clients, and the community. We define diversity broadly to encompass, without limitation, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, veteran and military status, marital and parental status, and disability. With greater diversity, we will be more creative, effective and inclusive, bringing more varied perspectives, experiences, and interests to the practice of law in a corporate setting. In support of our commitment to provide opportunities to talented lawyers of all backgrounds, we offer a one-year legal fellowship. The fellowship is based in the Employment & Labor Affairs practice group, but also provides opportunities to work with other practice groups within the Legal Department. Eligibility and Criteria The following factors are considered when selecting a fellow: - Academic achievement; - Law school courses; - Experience or coursework in labor and employment law; - Grade point average (minimum 3.0 required); - Law review or other publication experience; - Moot court; - Legal aid or legal clinic participation; - Extracurricular activities; - Previous employment; - Demonstrated leadership ability; - Excellent writing skills; - Interpersonal skills; and - Sincere interest in corporate practice and employment law. Applicants who are members of groups traditionally underrepresented in corporate legal departments are encouraged to apply. To be considered for this fellowship, applicants must have recently graduated in good standing from an ABA-accredited law school and must be available to commit to a one-year program. Students who are in their final year of law school are encouraged to apply. Duties Through a staff of more than 30 attorneys, the Legal Department provides representation and advice to The Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation and its affiliates, trustees, officers, and employees acting on its behalf. A broad range of legal issues are addressed that include labor and employment, contracts, real estate, health care privacy, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, clinical practice, safety, business transactions, financing, and tax matters. As in-house counsel, our attorneys are part of the goal setting and strategic planning for the Health System. This role provides our attorneys the opportunity to do a significant amount of preventative lawyering, including coordinating, developing, and delivering training programs and helping the Health System comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The fellowship will provide recent law graduates an opportunity to work with the Practice Group Leader and Chief Legal Counsel for Employment & Labor Affairs. Although the primary concentration will be in employment and labor, the fellow will support the other attorneys in the department as needed. The fellow can expect to research legal issues, prepare memoranda of law, review and draft agreements and policies, write position statements, represent clients before governmental agencies, and help prepare our clients for litigation. The supervising attorney(s) will review the fellows work closely and meet with the fellow to provide feedback. Through the work and challenges of a corporate counsels office, the fellow is provided with an excellent opportunity to learn how to partner with business units and help them solve problems. Goals The fellowship has three goals: (1) to provide highly competent, motivated, diverse, and recent law school graduates an opportunity to experience a corporate legal culture; (2) to provide the selected fellow with substantive experience working as an in-house labor and employment attorney; and (3) to develop a pool of trained professionals from which to draw as positions become available in the Legal Department. Application Deadline You must complete the online application for the Legal Fellowship position. The application is available at http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/human_resources/employment/jobs/. Your application must be submitted no later than 27 March 2017. Please upload a cover letter and your resume and include your GPA.

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.

| Description: |
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. You may include writing samples, transcripts, recommendation letters or a list of references with your applications. Judges’ chambers addresses are on the Judiciary website at www.judiciary.state.nj.us/directory/judgtara.pdf. Candidates will be contacted directly by the justices or judges for interviews for the court term that begins August 25, 2017. AND/OR Applicants may also email a cover letter and resume to the Judiciary Human Resources Office, at lawclerkresumes.mailbox@judiciary.state.nj.us.
