How are PILI Fellowships arranged?
Participating law firms offer the PILI option to incoming associates who, in turn, indicate their interest to the firm. Some firms limit the number of associates who can be Fellows; others do not. Once your firm approves, the next steps are to: (1) review the list of agencies, (2) contact the agency or agencies that interest you, arrange for an interview, and (3) come to an agreement. The Fellow and agency supervisor then work out the details, including the start date and the type of work. Once the Fellowship is arranged, the Fellow informs both the firm and PILI.
