AFJ builds the strength of progressive movements with training and education for nonprofit organizations on advocacy, while harnessing their collective power to transform our state and federal courts. AFJ has two primary programs: Our Justice Program works to ensure that the federal judiciary protects our democracy and advances other core constitutional values, preserves human rights and access to justice, and adheres to the administration of justice for all. An essential part of this program is working to research judicial nominees and hold elected leaders accountable for their records. We also promote structural and policy reforms to ensure our courts provide equal justice under the law; Our Bolder Advocacy Program works with nonprofits and foundations to help them navigate the rules surrounding 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and PACs so they can be more courageous and effective in their advocacy.

2026 Short-Term Dorot Fellowship Job title 2026 Short Term Dorot Fellowship Reports to Research and Advocacy Director, Federal Courts FLSA Status Non-Exempt Position Alliance for Justice (AFJ), a national association of nearly 150 organizations dedicated to advancing justice and democracy, and Alliance for Justice Action Campaign (AFJ Action), an affiliated advocacy organization, are seeking a Dorot Fellow housed in our Justice Program. The Dorot Fellowship is a public interest fellowship offered to a recent law school graduate for the term of January 2026 through August 2028. AFJ envisions a vibrant, ambitious, multi-racial democracy where historically marginalized voices are amplified to upend exclusionary systems and center justice in our institutions of power. AFJ builds the strength of progressive movements with training and education for nonprofit organizations on advocacy, while harnessing their collective power to transform our state and federal courts. AFJ has two primary programs: Our Justice Program works to ensure that the federal judiciary protects our democracy and advances other core constitutional values, preserves human rights and access to justice, and adheres to the administration of justice for all. An essential part of this program is working to research judicial nominees and hold elected leaders accountable for their records. We also promote structural and policy reforms to ensure our courts provide equal justice under the law; Our Bolder Advocacy Program works with nonprofits and foundations to help them navigate the rules surrounding 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and PACs so they can be more courageous and effective in their advocacy. AFJ Action promotes a national conversation about the importance of the courts by educating and mobilizing progressive advocates and voters. We educate voters and encourage them to fight for judges who will protect our rights. AFJ Action also holds elected leaders accountable for the judges they appoint to the bench. We arm advocates, elected officials, and the media with the tools to evaluate and take action on judicial candidates. Description: Alliance for Justice educates Senate offices, the public, and the press to ensure the most qualified and fair-minded candidates are nominated to the federal bench and to help our justice system reflect America's diversity.

Under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court has radically interpreted laws to protect corporate interests and threaten the rights of people of color, women, workers, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people.
