Due to the large number of applications from students and lawyers for the 2021 Rural Practice Fellowship Program, the Rural Practice Initiative Standing Committee was not able to award a fellowship to every applicant.

Many applicants for summer clerkship and permanent associate positions were also screened and deemed qualified to participate in the program but did not match with a rural law firm.

If your rural law firm is looking for a summer 2021 clerk or a permanent associate, you can now review the resumes of unmatched Rural Practice Fellowship Program applicants at the Career Center Resume Bank.

When using the “Resume Search” function, please use the filters and select “yes” to the “Participating in the Rural Initiative” filter so that only Rural Practice Fellowship applicant resumes are returned in your search.  You may also use the “Counties of Interest for the Rural Initiative” filter to select specific counties that are applicable to your firm.
