Subject: [DRBA] 2017 Brown, Goldstein & Levy, LLP Disability Rights Fellowship

Hello all,

We are currently seeking candidates for the Brown, Goldstein & Levy Disability Rights Fellowship. Please feel free to pass this information along to individuals who you believe would be interested in a great opportunity to both gain experience and put their knowledge and drive to salutary use. And don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

In September 2009, Brown, Goldstein & Levy, LLP welcomed its first disability rights fellow. We are now accepting applications for our Disability Rights Fellowship to begin in September 2017. The Fellowship offers a law school graduate or judicial clerk with a disability the opportunity to participate for a year in all phases of disability rights litigation at our firm in Baltimore, Maryland. Brown, Goldstein & Levy is an 18-lawyer law firm devoted principally to litigation. The firm has developed a national reputation for its high-profile, high-impact disability rights cases. Information about Brown, Goldstein & Levy, including our past and present work, is available at www.browngold.com <http://www.browngold.com> .

The Fellowship is available to law school graduates with a disability and zero to three years of legal experience. The term of the Fellowship is one year (September 18, 2017 – August 31, 2018). Salary and benefits will be commensurate with the salaries paid and benefits provided to non-Fellowship Brown, Goldstein & Levy attorneys of equivalent experience and qualifications. The firm offers health insurance, group life insurance, and group disability insurance. The Fellow should be a member of a state bar or be planning to obtain admittance to a state bar.

Applicants must have strong academic credentials, excellent writing skills, and a demonstrated commitment to disability rights. A completed application will consist of the following:

*         a cover letter, no longer than two pages, explaining the ways in which you meet the selection criteria;

*         a copy of your law school transcript, including an explanation of your institution’s grading policy;

*         a legal writing sample with a cover page indicating the source of the sample, any editing or contributions by persons other than the applicant, and the legal citation style used;

*         a current resume; and

*         a list of three references, including name, relationship, and contact information.

Applications must be received no later than November 4, 2016. Please submit your application by e-mail to recruiting at browngold.com <mailto:recruiting at browngold.com>  or by mail to:
