Apply for the 2025 – 2027 Gibbons Fellowship

Gibbons P.C. annually sponsors the nationally recognized John J. Gibbons Fellowship in Public Interest & Constitutional Law, and the firm is doing so again for the 2025-2027 time period. Applications are hereby solicited and will be accepted at any time through April 30, 2025. In order to continue our great tradition, the 2025-2027 Gibbons Fellow should be a person of high academic achievement and professional accomplishment. Preferably, the person selected should have served a judicial clerkship or been actively working in the field of public interest law; only in extraordinary cases will persons who are currently third-year law students be considered for the Fellowship. The Gibbons Fellow must have demonstrated a real commitment to public interest work and must make a commitment to remain as Fellow for the two-year period beginning in fall 2025. The deadline for applications is April 30, 2025, but applications will be considered as they are received, and it is possible that a Fellow will be selected before the deadline closes. At the very latest, we anticipate having hired our 2025-2027 Fellow by the middle of May.

Fellowship candidates must complete the attached application, along with the following:

1. Law School Transcript (can be unofficial)
2. Two (2) Letters of Recommendation
3. Resume
4. Writing Sample

Please send applications and materials via email to:
