The California Academy of Appellate Lawyers is proud to announce the opening of the application period for the 2025-2026 Fellowship Program. 

The Fellowship Program has two main goals:

(1)     To increase the diversity of participants in the Academy’s educational and social programs, and

(2)      To introduce the Academy to appellate lawyers for future candidacy.

The following qualifications will be considered in selecting participants in the Fellowship Program:

(1)     Good character and professional reputation,

(2)     Outstanding appellate skills and ability, and

(3)     A continuing commitment to high quality appellate practice. 

To qualify for candidacy, a Fellow must have been a member of the bar for at least 3 years, and must certify that he or she has a predominantly appellate practice, meaning more than 50% of the applicant’s practice is appellate work.

Additionally, the Academy will consider an applicant’s contribution to the diversity of participants in the Academy’s programs, which includes (but is not limited to) geographic location, area of practice, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.

The application period will be open from February 3 through March 17, 2025. To apply, please visit https://calappellate.org/fellowship-program/fellowship-application
