2025 Equal Justice Works Fellow
Are you a law student or recent law graduate pursuing a career in environmental law? We are seeking candidates to tackle environmental justice through an Equal Justice Works Fellowship. This fellowship opportunity allows Fair Shake Environmental Legal Service to work collaboratively with a candidate to identify unmet legal needs within an area of law that you are passionate about to build your dream job. The project must have a geographic focus within the Appalachian Basin. The Fellowship would begin in September 2025.

Candidates that intend to be licensed in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are preferred. Applicants will be considered on a rolling basis.
“Being an... Intern for Fair Shake was a highly rewarding and educational experience! I received hands-on opportunities to learn more about how local government works, what constitutes a successful ordinance, and overall how to translate legal jargon and dense text into accessible worksheets and news scans for local communities. I ...feel confident to continue working in the environmental legal field! ”
