Gerstein Harrow seeks a candidate to apply for a fellowship from Justice Catalyst to support cutting-edge civil litigation related to indigent defense–specifically, a project seeking to impose civil liability for the misconduct of overburdened indigent-defense systems and to protect good criminal defense attorneys from retaliation for their work. We are currently hosting Sam Rosen, who has developed a project using New Mexico’s recently passed civil-rights act and also helps us with our representation of public defenders facing retaliation. Our next candidate will ideally continue this work. 

The successful candidate will be sponsored for a Justice Catalyst fellowship and eligible to continue as an associate at Gerstein Harrow after the fellowship year. If the candidate remains after the fellowship year, they will be expected to work on civil-rights cases; plaintiffs’-side consumer-protection cases regarding crypto assets (an area where, if we do say so ourselves, Gerstein Harrow also litigates at the cutting edge); and complex issues and appeals. 

You can learn more about us at gerstein-harrow.com. And please don’t hesitate to email us at charlie@gerstein-harrow.com if you have any questions. 

Please indicate your interest by sending us a resume, writing sample, and law-school transcript (no cover letters please) by November 15, 2024. Submit to charlie@gerstein-harrow.com.
