Specific skills: Some judges have specific projects in mind for potential Judicial Fellows; so we can make successful matches, very briefly list any specific skills that may be relevant to particular projects (e.g. software and data analysis experience, language skills, legal document review experience, customer and client-facing service experience, office environment experience, etc.).
Do you grant permission to the Center to contact the Financial Aid office in order to get a general sense of your aid award range/need (i.e. low, medium, high, none)? This information will not be shared, and financial aid need will not negatively impact applications – a cornerstone of the Judicial Fellowship Program is that all Fellowships are fully funded.
