FMJA Fellow Program
Since 2021, the FMJA is pleased
to partner with Just the Beginning-A Pipeline Program to provide financial
support to selected law students from underrepresented backgrounds who are undertaking
summer internships with Federal Magistrate Judges across the U.S. Currently, the FMJA provides stipends of
$2,500 each to eight externs who are selected as FMJA Fellows. The FMJA Fellows are also invited to attend the FMJA annual convention in the summer and participate in virtual programming hosted by the FMJA, such as sessions on applying for federal clerkships and pathways to the bench.
