About Becket’s Constitutional Law Fellowship 

Becket’s Constitutional Law Fellowship gives exceptional recent law clerks and law school graduates immediate, hands-on experience litigating cutting-edge religious liberty cases. Under the mentorship of experienced Becket attorneys, Fellows participate in all aspects of trial and appellate litigation, gaining valuable experience in litigation strategy, research, writing, and oral advocacy. While experiences vary depending on need, previous Fellows have drafted portions of Supreme Court and appellate briefs, argued motions before federal judges, and conducted media interviews for cases.  

The Fellowship is also an excellent steppingstone to government service, private practice, the academy, or public interest law. Former Fellows have accepted employment with top-tier law firms, in sought-after federal and state government posts, with other non-profit public interest firms, and in the legal academy.
