SG Fellows assist staff in every facet of the work of the Office, including performing legal research, drafting briefs, appearing in court, and advising the Solicitor General and the Attorney General. The fellowship is ideal for talented young attorneys with a passion for the law who wish to pursue a career in appellate advocacy. The next openings for SG Fellowships are for September 2025.
