The Janet D. Steiger Fellowship places law students in the consumer protection divisions of state Attorneys General offices and other consumer protection agencies across the country. Fellows gain hands-on experience working alongside government attorneys on consumer protection investigations, enforcement, and related legal matters.
Fellowship highlights:
Paid public interest experience: $6,000 stipend for an 8–10 week fellowship.
Meaningful legal work: Exposure to consumer protection and potentially antitrust enforcement.
Eligibility: 1Ls, 2Ls, and other law students who will not graduate before summer 2027, subject to placement-specific requirements.
Career development: Opportunities to build relationships with government attorneys and fellow law students interested in public service.
If you are interested in antitrust and/or consumer protection work, PILC also encourages you to apply directly to the AG offices that interest you when they post summer internship openings (likely on or after December 1 for 1Ls; some offices have already posted openings for 2Ls). Applying directly will markedly increase your chances of a placement, even if you do not also receive the Steiger Fellowship award.
How to apply: Learn more and apply through the ABA Steiger Fellowship website. The application requires a statement of interest, resume, writing sample, and law school transcript; review the online application for complete instructions. ABA and Antitrust Law Section membership is free for law students.
Deadline: Monday, November 30, 2026
