Job Description2026 Short-Term Dorot FellowshipJob title 2026 Short Term Dorot Fellowship Reports to Research and Advocacy Director, Federal Courts FLSA Status 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. AFJ's Justice Program works to identify and advocate for the nomination and confirmation of demographically and experientially diverse judges with a demonstrated commitment to equal justice and ensures that judicial nominees that do not share these values are identified and opposed. Dorot Fellows assist with this work by vetting potential nominees, attending Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, meeting with coalition members, and preparing reports on nominees' records. Dorot Fellows conduct extensive research on nominees' records, including issues related to protections for workers, consumers, the environment and civil rights for women, communities of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and persons with disabilities. The Justice Program also analyzes Supreme Court and lower federal court decisions that roll back hard-won protections and rights of everyday Americans. 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. Dorot Fellows track federal court decisions affecting the legal rights of everyday Americans, educate the public on efforts to narrow those rights, and work with our allies to advance legislation that will enhance Americans' access to justice.

Posting Period: September 11, 2025 - Until Filled Employee Group Type: NEAMAC NEA Managers, Attorneys, Confidentials, OO107 Office of the General Counsel (OGC) Position Type: Temporary (Fixed Term) Salary Range: $82,200.00 - $82,200.00 Position Details: The National Education Association Office of General Counsel is pleased to announce an opening for a Civil Rights Law Fellow, beginning in the Fall of 2026. The NEA Civil Rights Law Fellowship offers the opportunity for a rising attorney with two to five years of legal experience to work on the cause of advancing student civil rights with experienced counsel and other education advocates. NEA is the largest labor organization in the country representing nearly 3 million teachers and other education professionals. NEA's work includes substantial advocacy at the federal, state, and local level in support of public education and educational employees and significant research and policy initiatives to promote equal access to quality education for all students. The NEA Civil Rights Law Fellow works out of NEA's Office of General Counsel at NEA's headquarters in Washington D.C. The fellowship is for a period of one year (through August 31, 2027), with the option of extending, upon mutual agreement, the fellowship for one additional year. The Civil Rights Law Fellow advances NEA's work to ensure that students receive the full and equal educational opportunities to which they are entitled under the law. Over the past few years, NEA's student civil rights advocacy has included all of the following: * Extensive litigation and amicus work, including in the following cases: * Regents of the University of California v Dep't of Homeland Security. Participating as an amicus in the Supreme Court and lower courts in successful challenge to DACA's rescission. NEA's brief focused on the critical void that DACA educators fill in schools, particularly in light of teacher shortages nationwide and a lack of diversity in the teaching force and the harm to students and schools that DACA's rescission would have caused. * Feminist Majority Foundation v. Univ. of Mary Washington. NEA filed in support of female students who had been subjected to online, anonymous, peer harassment and threats. The NEA amicus discussed the impact that cyber-bullying and harassment has on students and made the points that the trial court holding that schools have no duty to prevent and remedy such harassment is wrong and, if not reversed, would have an incredibly harmful effect on the educational opportunities of girls, LGBTQ students, and students of color. * Doe v. Boyertown Area School District and Parents for Privacy v. Dallas School District. NEA filed in support of trans-inclusive school district policies in these cases in the Third and Ninth Circuits. The NEA brief detailed how trans-inclusive policies both allow transgender students to thrive while also improving the overall school climate for all students. * Smith v. Board of Education of Frederick County, Maryland. NEA and our state affiliate intervened to defend the Frederick County Teachers Association, which had successfully urged their school board to adopt a trans-inclusive student policy only to have that policy challenged in court by right-wing organizations contending that it was unconstitutional. * Development of, and training of members and advocates on, comprehensive legal guidance on Students' Rights Not to Be Discriminated Against or Harassed Based on Race, Religion, National Origin, and Immigration Status available on this page, together with the other advocacy material referenced here. NEA's legal guidance provides educators with an understanding of current laws that protect students from racial, religious, and national origin harassment; provides a model policy that school districts should adopt to ensure those protections are fully enforced; and provides FAQs and responses to assist in enforcement efforts. * Development and training of members and advocates on the NEA Safe Zones Policies and Resolutions to protect students' rights to attend public schools regardless of immigration status. The policies and resolutions, provide school district activists and leaders with tools to reaffirm and protect undocumented students' rights to enroll and remain in public school. * Development and training of members and advocates on the NEA Legal Guidance on Transgender Students' Rights, which provides educators and districts with the current state of the law on transgender students' rights, model trans-inclusive student policies and FAQs. * Guidance for NEA affiliates and members seeking to speak out, protest, and engage in activism on issues such as gun safety, the DACA program, and Black Lives Matter movement, available here.
