FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
WLP Legal Fellowship Opportunities
WLP seeks 3Ls and recent law graduates for post-grad public interest fellowships funded through their law schools.
Women’s Law Project (WLP) is a public interest legal organization working to defend and advance the rights of women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people in Pennsylvania and beyond. Using an intersectional analysis, our work centers the needs of people facing multiple forms of oppression based on sex, gender, race, ethnicity, class, disability, incarceration, pregnancy, and immigration status. We leverage impact litigation, policy advocacy, public education, and direct assistance and representation to dismantle discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, eradicate institutional biases, and advance gender justice.
WLP is a hybrid workplace. The in-office component is based either out of Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, but WLP permits remote work when it is appropriate and reasonable.
