Course Description:
The Gideon Fellowship for Criminal Defense is a 12-month clinical experience beginning the summer following the completion of the second year of law school. Through the fellowship, a student experiences a progression of various experiences in indigent defense work at both the Office of the Maricopa County Public Defender and the Federal Public Defender’s Office. The Fellow earns 12 pass/fail credits which count toward clinic hours. In addition, the Fellow receives a stipend. The fellowship is open to one student per year, and the fellow is selected through a competitive application process.
