The Organization

Public Rights Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating the gap between the values behind our laws and the lived realities of vulnerable communities across the U.S. Public Rights Project accomplishes its goals by lending support to state and local prosecutors offices to help them protect the core rights and freedoms of Americans. Staff and attorneys at Public Rights Project provide strategic planning support to boost policy enforcement in prosecutors offices and provide pro bono or low cost legal services to help partner agencies get the resources they need.

The Position

Public Rights Project seeks fellows to participate in a two-year fellowship placement with a partnering prosecutorial agency. Fellows will work along side practicing government attorneys to gain experience in affirmative litigation, community engagement, and policy research. Fellows will also have the opportunity to work on enforcement projects within their placement offices.

The ideal candidates will be passionate about public service, have active bar membership, and litigation experience.
