O ur fellows devote their summers working for public interest or government organizations that, without external funding, would not be able to afford to hire legal interns. The organizations they work for range from the U.S. Department of Justice to Texas RioGrande Legal Aid.
Sponsored summer work spans the political spectrum, from FIRE to the ACLU. TLF sends students to work throughout the state of Texas, across the country, and abroad. Organizations interested in hosting a TLF Fellow should contact the UT School of Law Career Services Organization to discuss posting jobs or interviewing UT students. Any UT student who secures a position with a qualified organization is eligible for funding.
During the summer of 2012, TLF was proud to provide 33 fellowships:
