There’s a post-JD fellowship currently open at the Hawaiʻi Department of Land & Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Forestry & Wildlife. This is a terrific opportunity for recent graduates, upcoming graduates (mid-year), or early-career professionals who are interested in working on administrative law issues and natural resource management. Note that the application period has been extended to November 20, 2023.

This program has placed dozens of law graduates inside various DLNR divisions and other agencies in the Pacific, working on rulemaking, enforcement, and related issues. Fellowships typically last 12-18 months (or longer if funding allows). A number of fellows have been subsequently hired on a permanent basis. Although the Univ. Haw. Environmental Law Program does not manage hiring etc., they support the program by cultivating a growing network of current and former fellows to provide support, guidance, and mentorship. And they are always happy to answer questions from potential applicants.
