Come join our team!

Come join our team! The Health Justice Alliance Law Clinic is seeking a clinical teaching fellow to teach and supervise law students through a pediatric medical-legal partnership between Georgetown University's Law and Medical Centers. In collaboration with medical students and healthcare providers, the HJA Law Clinic provides advocacy to low-income children and families in housing, public benefits, and special education cases to remove legal barriers to health and well-being and promote health equity. The fellowship is ideal for a legal services attorney interested in becoming a part of Georgetown University Law Center's top-ranked Georgetown Law Clinical Programs, transitioning into legal academia, developing teaching and supervisory skills, and mentoring law students interested in racial, economic, and social justice. The fellowship runs from summer 2025-summer 2027, and applications should be submitted no later than Monday, April 7, 2025. The posting and application information can be found at https://lnkd.in/em4wqPv9.

As #BlackMaternalHealthWeek comes to a close, we want to shout out the HJA Clinic’s sister MLP, the Perinatal Legal Assistance and Well-being Project (P-LAW)! Through interprofessional collaboration with MedStar Washington Hospital Center Women’s and Infants’ Services, the P-LAW team provides no-cost legal services to some of DC’s most historically and intentionally marginalized expectant, birthing, and postpartum patients, most of whom are Black and live in communities underserved by health and social services.
