Judicial Fellows Program

The Judicial Fellows Program provides full-time graduate students with the opportunity to gain valuable on-the-job experience working closely with Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) administrators and staff for the State of Delaware.

Judicial Fellows observe the court-management process, perform court-related research, offer technical support to judicial committees and subcommittees, and contribute to written reports and data analysis for the Judicial Branchs strategic planning efforts. 

For the Judiciary, the program provides students who are committed to researching best practices and assisting the administrative staff to achieve process improvement.

• Judicial Fellows work under the direct supervision of AOC staff.
• Fellows make important contacts with presiding judges and court administrators.
• Fellows work 20 hours/week from September 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024.​
• Fellows are paid a stipend, and their mileage to Wilmington is reimbursed.
• Fellows take a three-credit seminar, State Government: Management and Policy, as part of the program.​
