Law Fellow

Law Fellow Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is seeking a law fellow for the 2027-28 year to start in September 2027. The law fellow serves on the legislative team that manages the Judiciary Committee portfolio for Senator Blumenthal. The law fellow is responsible for advising senior staff and the Senator on legislative decisions, as well as drafting legislation, conducting legal and policy research, and composing memoranda on a variety of subjects. Law fellows, along with other members of the Judiciary Committee legislative team, will manage and oversee law clerks. Law fellows will also collaborate with staff members on issues and matters outside the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee, where appropriate, given the interests of the fellow and the needs of the office. Law fellows must be adept legal researchers and policy analysts. They must be able to write quickly and clearly, be flexible in adjusting to changing circumstances and legislative priorities, and be self-starters capable of taking responsibility for complicated, ongoing projects. Applicants must have a JD from an accredited program. Demonstrated interest in public service is preferred. This position is located in Washington, D.C. This is an unpaid position so fellow candidates must have the ability to secure fellowship funding from their law school or another source.
