Apply for Rural Summer Legal Corps

Rural communities in the U.S. and its territories face a shortage of talented lawyers, with a large population of the country being forced to travel hundreds of miles to find legal assistance. Participate in Rural Summer Legal Corps (RSLC) and help address the access-to-justice crisis for people living in rural areas.

Before filling out this application, please fully review the project descriptions for each host site, including eligibility requirements. Please also take note of the location of each project because some host sites may allow or require the Student Fellow to work remotely.
