Supreme Court Fellows Program
Since 1973, the Supreme Court Fellows Program has enabled exceptionally talented people to contribute to the work of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Federal Judicial Center, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, and more recently the United States Sentencing Commission. Founded by Chief Justice Warren Burger, the program provides fellows an opportunity to study firsthand both the administrative machinery of the federal judiciary and the dynamics of interbranch relations.
The Supreme Court Fellows Program seeks outstanding individuals from diverse professions and academic backgrounds, including law, the social and behavioral sciences, public and business administration, systems research and analysis, communications, and the humanities.
Work assignments and projects reflect the needs of the judiciary and the interests and capabilities of the fellows. Fellows gain insight into the contemporary policy issues facing the judiciary as well as an appreciation of the nature of judicial administration. Individuals best able to maximize the resources of the Supreme Court Fellows Program are those with initiative, poise, and adaptability.
As competition is intense, a degree of self-screening, according to the following criteria, is advisable. Candidates must have:
1. at least one post-graduate degree,
2. two or more years of professional experience with a record of high performance, and
multi-disciplinary training and experience, including familiarity with the judicial process. (A degree of proven administrative ability is desirable for some assignments.)
Fellows must be bright, energetic, and highly motivated; original and flexible in their thinking; articulate speakers and capable writers; able to prepare quality staff work within tight deadlines; personable, discreet, trustworthy, and committed to serving the federal judiciary.
The commissioners will choose approximately eight finalists who will visit Washington as guests of the program on February 26-27, 2009, for an orientation session, reception, and individual interviews with the Commission. Immediately thereafter, the Commission selects the fellows for the fellowship year.
Fellowship applications can be submitted by mail or online. Mailed applications must be postmarked by the November 11, 2008, deadline. Online applications must be received by the November 11, 2008, deadline.
Applications must include the following:
1. a candidate information form
2. a résumé highlighting academic, professional and personal achievements
3. copies of no more than two writing samples on 8½ x 11-inch paper in a format that is easily reproduced
4. a candidate statement of 700 words or less describing why you are applying for the fellowship, what you consider your major strengths and qualifications for the program, and what benefits you feel are likely to result from your participation

Presidential Management Fellowship Program
Attention 3L students:
The 2008 Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program application period is now open. The online application must be completed by October 15, 2008. Please see below for important information about the application and nomination process.
The Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) program is the premier program for leadership development in the public sector. 3L students interested in pursuing a career with the federal government are encouraged to consider applying for the program.
The purpose of the PMF program is to attract outstanding men and women to the Federal service. Each year the program draws fellows from a variety of academic disciplines and career paths who have a clear commitment to excellence in the leadership and management of public policies and programs.The program provides a two-year federal government fellowship to individuals who have completed a graduate-level course of study at an accredited college or university. Since 1977, the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) program and its predecessor, the Presidential Management Intern (PMI) Program, have been attracting outstanding graduate, law, and doctoral-level students to the Federal service.
The PMF program is a passport to a unique and rewarding career experience with the Federal Government. It provides Fellows with an opportunity to apply the knowledge they acquired from graduate study. PMF assignments may involve public policy and administration, domestic or international issues, information technology, human resources, engineering, health and medical sciences, law, financial management, and many other fields in support of public service programs.
In recent years the number of fellows has ranged between four hundred and six hundred. There is not a set number of fellows selected per year. The number hired is based on the hiring projections of agencies as well as the number of highly-qualified applicants.
Fellows must have a graduate degree, meaning that they will be at least at a GS-9 pay level ($45,040-$90,698 in the greater Washington DC area, varies by geographic region). Many graduates may be at a higher level depending on their degree and previous work experience.
The online application closes October 15, 2008. You will be able to apply via a vacancy announcement on USAJOBS (search for Presidential Management Fellow) and on the “PMF Application” webpage.
