The Institute is seeking to hire a Law Fellow to assist in developing educational programs, symposia, conferences, publications, and scholarship relating to the rule of law, judicial independence, the administration of justice, and special topics in civil litigation, such as multidistrict litigation, mass harms, e-discovery, and securities class actions.
Depending on the candidate’s experience and interests, the Fellow may also have the opportunity to assist in producing our flagship journal about judging, Judicature, and its new international edition. The position requires a J.D., and a clerkship is preferred. This position may be of particular interest to attorneys who are interested in transitioning to academia.

- Engage, organize, and support faculty from Duke Law, other institutions, the judiciary, and the legal profession in creating courses and content for educational programs.
- Collaborate with Institute staff to manage logistics, marketing, and all aspects of production and implementation for assigned programs
The start date is early 2022 (with flexibility as to precise date). Hybrid or remote work arrangements may be possible.
