Each summer, the Jerome N. Frank Legal Services Organization (LSO) at Yale Law School offers a paid summer fellowship program to approximately 15-20 part-time and full-time law students from across the country. The 2025 LSO Summer Fellowship Program is scheduled to run from May 20 to August 8, 2025. Summer Fellows are expected to commit to work 40 hours per week for the 12-week program. Modified start and end dates, part-time work or full-time work for a portion of the fellowship period may be possible with supervisor pre-approval. This is a paid program of summer employment and not a course.
The application period for the 2025 LSO Summer Fellowship program has closed.
The LSO clinics operating during the summer of 2025 are:
- Challenging Mass Incarceration Clinic and Criminal Justice Clinic (combined)
- Community and Economic Development Clinic
- Environmental Justice Law and Advocacy Clinic
- Housing Clinic
- Mental Health Justice Clinic
- Veterans Legal Services Clinic
- Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic
