The Capital Fellows Programs are nationally recognized public policy fellowships which offer unique experiences in policy-making and development in each branch of California's state government.
Capital Fellows spend 10-11 months as paid, full-time employees working in a Legislative, Executive or Judicial Branch office. Capital Fellows are placed at some of the highest levels of California state government and assist state legislators, senior-level executive staff, and court administrators with a broad range of public policy issues and projects and are typically given assignments with a significant amount of responsibility and challenges.
Judicial Fellowship Program
Are you interested in providing access to justice for the millions of people who call California home?
Judicial Fellows work in superior courts and Judicial Council offices across California in the field of court administration. Fellows work on research initiatives related to court programs, public policy, legislative analysis, language access, community outreach, and contribute to advancing the branch mission of creating access to justice. Fellows are mentored by court executive officers and senior staff.
Key components to the program are the cohort model of the fellowship class, the strength of the mentorship opportunities that exist for fellows in each of the placements, the opportunity to complete a Fellowship Project addressing a real-world challenge in their placement office and the opportunity to visit different courts throughout California for monthly field and academic seminars.
10 Fellows are selected to participate in the 10-month long program that starts in September of each year.
