Draft:The Supreme Court Fellows Program
This is a well-known and prestigious legal fellowship with the United States Supreme Court
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Supreme Court Fellows Program offers newer law school graduates, mid-career professionals, and doctoral degree holders from the law and political science fields an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the judicial system through exposure to federal court administration. The Supreme Court Fellows Program was founded in 1973 by then-Chief Justice Warren Burger..[1] Fellows are selected by a Commission appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.[2]. According to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, "Fellows are drawn from diverse professions and academic backgrounds and work on assignments and projects that reflect the needs of the Judiciary and the interests and capabilities of the Fellows. Candidates must have at least one post-graduate degree, two or more years of professional experience with a record of high performance, and multi-disciplinary training and experience, including familiarity with the judicial process."[3]

The Supreme Court Fellows Commission selects four fellows through an extremely competitive process that includes review of submitted materials and interviews of finalists.[4]. Applicants submit a research proposal, resume, and letters of recommendation (with at least one letter usually being from a federal judge)[5]. After the highly competitive review of their applications, eight finalists are are invited to Washington, D.C. for a two day interview process.[6]. The first day, finalists meet with representatives from each of the four host organizations to learn more about the fellowship opportunities at each placement. Later that same day, the eight finalists attend a panel discussion hosted by the Fellows Alumni Association, followed by the annual dinner hosted by the Supreme Court Fellows Commission at the Supreme Court.[7]. The second day of interviews is in front of the Commission. Following the interviews, the Commission decides which position to offer to which candidate, and the offer is communicated to the four successful candidates.[8].
The four Fellows then spend one year working in one of four offices: Office of the Counselor to the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, the Federal Judicial Center, or the United States Sentencing Commission. The program provides fellows with practical insight to judicial administration, policy development, education, and scholarship.[9]
