What You'll Do

The University of Michigan Law Clinical Fellows Program seeks applicants for a fellowship in its Civil-Criminal Litigation Clinic (CCLC). This is a two-year appointment with the possibility of extension for a third year.

The Clinical Fellows Program is designed to fully support attorneys wishing to explore the possibility of a career in clinical teaching. Michigan Clinical Fellows gain valuable experience and mentoring in clinical pedagogy and in their substantive area of practice. Their duties include clinical teaching and student supervision in conjunction with a clinic director, and participation in the operation and development of the clinic in which they teach. Support is provided for personal and professional development and scholarship. Michigan Clinical Fellows have enjoyed success on the national job market and are teaching in clinics at law schools across the country.

The CCLC is Michigan Law's oldest clinic. It represents low-income clients at trial and appellate levels across many substantive areas of civil practice including housing, contracts, consumer and civil rights, discrimination, probate, and insurance matters. On the criminal side, the CCLC represents clients charged with misdemeanors from arraignment through trial and handles post-judgment issues in serious felony cases and expungements.

Michigan's Clinical Fellows salaries and benefits are competitive. The fellowship begins in the summer of 2026.
