In September 2009, Brown, Goldstein & Levy, LLP welcomed its first
disability rights fellow. We are now accepting applications for our fifth
annual Disability Rights Fellowship to begin in September 2013. The
Fellowship offers a recent 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 a 16-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.

 

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 3, 2013 - August 29, 2014). 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,
