They welcome applications by scholars who have completed an advanced degree (e.g., PhD, SJD, JD, LLM, or other comparable degree) and have an established academic record, as well as experienced and accomplished practicing lawyers who aim to draw upon their legal experience in their Fellowship project.

Fellows may spend from one month up to one academic year (excluding June-August) in residence at Harvard Law School working on an independent project.

The deadline for application is February 15, 2024.
