The Society of American Law Teachers (SALT) is pleased to announce the Norman Dorsen/Stuart & Ellen Filler Fellowship, a one academic-year (9-month) fellowship focused on issues in legal education and not-for-profit development to begin in August 2010. The Dorsen/Filler Fellowship seeks a talented, committed, and visionary law school graduate interested in a career in legal education or in development work in a not-for-profit institution. A law degree from a U.S. law school is required by August 2010. The Fellow will be located in the SALT national office on Long Island, NY. The deadline for applications is June 15, 2010.

In close coordination with the SALT Executive Director and its Co-Presidents, the Fellow will:

• Assist the Executive Director in pursuing funding opportunities and preparing grant proposals and reports in furtherance of SALT’s development goals.
• Participate in the work of the Issues in Legal Education, Academic Freedom, and Affirmative Action committees to learn about the issues and the strategies employed by SALT to advance its mission and goals.
• Participate in the work of SALT’s other committees, including its committees on Access to Justice and Human Rights to the extent necessary to conduct the fundraising and grant writing activities.
• Participate as an observer in SALT’s Board meetings and deliberations to learn about how an organization carries out its functions.

The deadline for applications is June 15, 2010.

To apply, send a cover letter; resume; 1-5 page, self-edited writing sample (ideally related to a grant); and three references to rsvp@saltlaw.org.
