JILL GAULDING LAW STUDENT FELLOWSHIP FOR GENDER AND LGBTQ JUSTICE
Established in 2017 in honor of Gender Justice ‘s co-founder emeritus, the Jill Gaulding Law Student Fellowship is a temporary, summer-long fellowship designed to offer a second- or third-year LGBTQ (lesbian / gay / bisexual / transgender / non-binary / queer) and/or BIPOC (black / indigenous / native / person of color) law student an invaluable opportunity to work in a social justice, public interest legal and policy advocacy nonprofit dedicated to fighting gender inequality.
