Through its NYU Law Fellows program the State Energy & Environmental Impact Center at NYU School of Law offers opportunities to serve as special assistant attorneys general in state attorney general offices (focusing on clean energy, climate and environmental matters) or to work at state public utility commissions.
These are full-time, paid opportunities open to all. Each job has its own compensation, eligibility requirements, and required experience that is outlined in the fellowship posting. Some jobs require a law degree, but some only require applicants to have a knowledge of and enthusiasm for environmental law topics. NYU Law pays the fellow’s salary and provides benefits and professional development opportunities.
