Each summer, the Jerome N. Frank Legal Services Organization (LSO) at Yale Law School offers a paid summer fellowship program to approximately 17-19 part-time and full-time law students from across the country. The 2026 LSO Summer Fellowship program is scheduled to run from May 26 to August 7, 2026. Summer Fellows are expected to commit to work 40 hours per week for the 11-week, in-person 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 2026 LSO Summer Fellowship program is now open. Application details are available here.
The LSO clinics operating during the summer of 2026 are:
- Environmental Justice Law and Advocacy Clinic
- Housing Clinic
- Mental Health Justice Clinic
- Veterans Legal Services Clinic
- Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic
