We have two new exciting LLM fellowship opportunities for recent JD graduates. If any of you have graduates of your program interested in working on just energy transition issues and an Energy LLM at the same time I would greatly appreciate it if you could share the following two fellowship opportunities. If any of your graduates have questions about these opportunities I would be pleased to talk with them.
Energy Justice Fellowship – The Institute for Energy and the Environment at Vermont Law and Graduate School offers the Energy Justice Fellowship for a two-year period beginning August 2023. The fellowship includes a full tuition waiver for the LLM in Energy Law and a $35,000 annual stipend. The Energy Justice Fellow will work half-time in the VLGS Energy Clinic leading a team of graduate student clinicians working on ensuring that low income and underserved communities enjoy the benefits of the just energy transition. Applicants must be licensed to practice law in the United States with the ability to be licensed in the State of New Hampshire and additional states in New England and New York on a timely basis. Experience in energy law is not required, but knowledge of business, transactional, and administrative law is preferred, as well as, an interest to pursue the LLM in Energy Law while working in the Energy Clinic. Applicants must apply separately to the VLGS LLM in Energy Law and provide a cover letter, writing sample, resume, and list of three references to Energy Justice Fellowship Application. Application review will begin on a rolling basis on April 15, 2023 and continue until the position is filled. Admission to the VLGS Energy Law program is not required for initial application review but is a requirement for final eligibility.
