In addition to client representation, the Fellow will develop and implement projects aimed at improving access to legal services for noncitizen Vermonters and will engage with the broader legal community through outreach, education, and collaboration with statewide partners. The fellowship is supported by the Vermont Bar Foundation, Trout Lily Foundation, and the Vermont Access to Justice Coalition. The position is full-time, on-campus, with a salary of $60,000–$70,000 plus full benefits.
