NFCJ is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit that aims to preserve and promote the values of America’s justice system. The foundation runs several initiatives to reform criminal justice, including a Diversity Summer Law Fellowship. The Diversity Summer Law Fellowship gives paid internship opportunities to law students with historically underrepresented backgrounds, encouraging them to pursue careers in criminal defense. The students can attend a summer internship at a law firm or choose from one of NACDL’s pool of potential employers. They receive $562 per week for eight weeks of work and can earn up to $4,500 in the summer. The fellowship program is open to first and second-year law students from ABA-accredited law schools. They must be in good academic standing and have a historically underrepresented background. This includes racial minorities and persons with disabilities. To apply for the fellowship, a student must apply to NFCJ. The application should include their resume and brief writing sample. NFCJ prioritizes students who demonstrate dedication to criminal justice through their academic schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and previous employment.
