Position: Legal Fellow Sponsorship
Terms of Employment: Temporary Full-Time/Exempt/Local Union 2320 (NYCLU staff is currently working in a hybrid model; a number of in-person days will be required).
Location: New York Civil Liberties Union, 125 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004
Salary: Subject to the NYCLU’s attorney salary scale, which is based on years of legal experience (new law school graduates will start at $87,000 in 2027) *
Application Deadline: Sunday, June 14, 2026 (applications will be considered until the position is filled).

The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is one of the nation's leading advocates on behalf of
constitutional rights and liberties. Founded in 1951, as the New York affiliate of the American Civil Liberties
Union, the NYCLU is a not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization with more than 90,000 members and supporters, and eight offices statewide. We work in the courts, in the legislatures and on the streets to advocate for racial and economic justice, free speech, freedom of religion, privacy and equality before the law for all New Yorkers. For more information, please visit our website: www.nyclu.org.

DEI VISION STATEMENT
The NYCLU is committed to building an equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist workplace that centers the voices of marginalized and directly impacted communities. This commitment strengthens our mission to protect civil liberties and advance justice across New York. We welcome candidates of all backgrounds to apply, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, formerly incarcerated people, and others whose experiences reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The NYCLU seeks rising third-year law students, judicial clerks, and recent law graduates to sponsor for one- or two-year legal fellowships with a funding organization, such as the Skadden Fellowship Foundation, Equal Justice Works, and/or Justice Catalyst. We will work with a successful applicant to develop a project proposal to submit. Please note that the NYCLU does not have independent internal funding for these fellowships (but does cover the difference between external funding and the NYCLU salary scale).

Applicants will be asked to submit a project proposal relating to civil liberties and civil rights in New York.
Proposed projects often combine litigation, policy advocacy, community outreach, and public education. We encourage projects that are new and innovative, allowing the NYCLU to serve unmet legal needs or expand our reach to new populations. Proposals should include a short description of the problem your project seeks to address, concrete strategies and tools to address the problem, goals for what you want to
accomplish during the fellowship, why you are the best candidate for this fellowship project, and how your project fits into the NYCLU’s work. We understand that project proposals may be broad at this stage.

To assist candidates in developing projects that best align with our current priorities, we particularly encourage project proposals that focus on immigrants’ rights. We will also consider proposals that focus on racial justice, criminal justice and police accountability, voting rights, gender equity, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, education equity, privacy and technology, economic justice, Indigenous justice, environmental justice, free speech, and/or projects that incorporate more than one of these areas of focus.

NYCLU staff is currently working in a hybrid model. A number of in-person days will be required.

QUALIFICATIONS
The ideal candidate should have a demonstrated commitment to public-interest law, civil liberties, and racial justice, as well as a commitment and ability to work with and support a wide range of communities and a diverse and inclusive workplace. We seek a candidate willing to collaborate with the NYCLU to shape the project proposal through the funding application process. Once the NYCLU selects its candidate, the
NYCLU will work with the candidate to craft a fellowship proposal and submit application(s) to the sponsoring organization(s).

HOW TO APPLY
If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please submit an application, including a resume, writing sample (no more than 5-10 pages), a cover letter, and a project proposal (no more than one- page, single-spaced) via
https://recruiting.paylocity.com/recruiting/jobs/Details/4160835/New-York-Civil-Liberties Union- Foundation/2027-Legal-Fellow-Sponsorship-for-Organization-Funded-Fellowships

Application materials submitted as a single pdf are preferred but not required. To the extent possible, briefly indicate in your proposal how your project would also advance racial justice (e.g., by identifying, challenging, and undoing the effects and ideologies of racism). Because we are still assessing which subject areas to submit funding proposals for, please include in your cover letter whether you seek sponsorship for only your proposed project or whether you would be open to projects we suggest. Though the NYCLU will consider applications submitted after June 14, 2026, priority consideration will be given to those who submit applications by that date.

The NYCLU is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from all qualified individuals regardless of race, sex, gender identity or expression, age, disability, religion, national origin, citizenship, marital status, sexual orientation, veteran status, record of arrest or conviction or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

The NYCLU is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to individuals with disabilities. If you are a qualified individual with a disability and need assistance applying online, please e-mail Director of Human Resources Lisa DeCicco at ldecicco@nyclu.org.
