Murphy Anderson PLLC (Summer 2027)

Law Firm
Washington, DC

This is the Summer 2027 fellowship description for this mentor organization.

Murphy Anderson PLLC is a small, innovative union-side labor firm seeking a current second-year law student as a Peggy Browning Fellow in its Washington office. We formed our firm on Labor Day 2008 to represent unions, employee-benefit funds and workers seeking justice. We represent unions in all sectors of the economy, with a particular focus on helping workers organize.

We also have an energetic wage-and-hour practice fighting wage theft in overtime, misclassification and other schemes in which employers cheat their employees. We have a whistleblower practice, fighting fraud in health care, military procurement and construction using the False Claims Act and similar SEC and IRS programs.

We work at the cutting edge of both labor and employment law, and we connect the dots between them. Where labor law falls short, we help unions use employment law to win for their members. We use employment law to bring workers together. We also engage in legislative advocacy to strengthen workers' rights.

We are a litigating firm committed to excellence for our clients. Our Fellow will work closely with our attorneys on active cases, and we expect our Fellow to bring the same dedication we bring to every case. We are committed to community service and expanding workers' power in society.

The successful candidate must be an excellent writer with strong academic credentials and a demonstrated commitment to workers' rights and/or public service. We strongly prefer candidates fluent in Spanish. Labor and employment law coursework is a plus.

The stipend for this twelve-week fellowship is $1,100/week. This is an in-person position. We do not accept split summers.

In addition to the basic application requirements (cover letter, application form, essays, resume), applicants for this fellowship must also include a brief legal writing sample and current transcript.
