IFAI - LLM Fellowship Opportunity

The LL.M. Program in Agricultural and Food Law at the University of Arkansas School of Law has a new fellowship position that is offered jointly with the Indigenous Food & Agriculture Initiative. This fellowship will provide an LL.M. candidate the opportunity to work with the Initiative, supporting their work to promote tribal sovereignty through food and agriculture.

 

The Indigenous Food & Agriculture Initiative (IFAI) provides strategic legal analysis, policy research, and educational resources to empower Indian Country through food sovereignty, agriculture, and economic development. The LL.M. Fellow will work directly with the attorneys at the IFAI, supporting its mission.

 

A good academic record in Law School with experience in Indian Law is required. Some background in food and agricultural law is preferred. This is a part-time position that will allow the fellow to complete the LL.M. Program in 9 months. Compensation includes a full tuition waiver for all LL.M. courses, a stipend of $11,250, and the opportunity to enroll in the university's health insurance program with the University paying 66.66% of the premiums.

 

Although the LL.M. Program offers a fully integrated distance option, this position is open only to LL.M. candidates who study on-campus in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The School of Law is proud to have pledged to be an Anti-Bias Anti-Racist Community and welcomes diverse applicants. For more information and to apply, contact the LL.M.
