This Week’s “Hot Job”:

Bergstrom Summer Child Welfare Law Fellowships

Contact Name: Alicia Lixey

Contact Email: lixey@umich.edu

For the 14th year, the University of Michigan Law School and the Bergstrom Foundation are sponsoring a Child Welfare Summer Fellowship Program where students are brought to Ann Arbor for 3 days of training (May 21-23, 2008) and then placed in child welfare law offices throughout the nation.  Students who have completed their first year of law school but who have not yet graduated are eligible.  APPLICATIONS ARE DUE FEBRUARY 1, 2008.

The primary goal of the summer fellowship program is to improve legal education, practice and policy in the area of child welfare law.  The summer fellowship is committed to inspiring law students to pursue careers in the specialty.  The three days of interdisciplinary training provide insight into the field and prepare students for their experiences with child welfare offices representing children, parents, social service agencies or child welfare policy organizations. 

The Bergstrom Foundation will fund travel expenses for the participants (up to $500.00).  We have limited funding for summer living stipends.

The application form and further information is available at http://www.law.umich.edu/bergstrom

Interested students should send a personal letter, two references, resume and application by February 1, 2008.  Further questions, contact Training Coordinator Alicia Lixey @ 734-763-6750 or email her at lixey@umich.edu
