For those who are not yet aware, the ISBA Rural Practice Fellowship Program is an important initiative with the goal of placing summer law clerks and associate attorneys with firms in rural areas and small towns across the state. Through the program, summer clerks are awarded a stipend of $5,000 and associate attorneys are awarded a stipend of $10,000 ($5,000 paid initially; $5,000 paid after the associate attorney completes one year of rural practice). These stipends are made possible through the generous support of not only the ISBA, but also the ISBA Mutual Insurance Company and individual donors.
