Gibbs Mura, a California‐based, national law firm committed to protecting the rights of consumers, employees, investors and whistleblowers harmed by corporate misconduct, is pleased to announce the Mason Gibbs Plaintiffs’ Pathway Fellowship (formerly the “Gibbs Mura Fellowship”). We are seeking outstanding 1Ls from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences who are interested in a career representing plaintiffs for this highly‐selective, paid summer fellowship. The Mason Gibbs Plaintiffs’ Pathway Fellowship is open to law students nationwide.  

How to apply for the Fellowship – Coming soon!

Now in its third year, the Gibbs Mura Fellowship is expanding and will be known as the Mason Gibbs Plaintiffs’ Pathway Fellowship. We will have lots of exciting news to share about changes to the fellowship coming soon, and will be accepting applications from 1Ls in the winter of 2025/2026, for summer positions in 2026. In the meantime, if you would like to be notified once the application is open, please provide your email address at the button below.

The Mason Gibbs Plaintiffs’ Pathway Fellowship is open to all law students enrolled in an ABA-accredited law school, regardless of race, color, religion, citizenship, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, military service, disability, or any other characteristic or condition protected by applicable law.

What can you expect from this fellowship?

Mason Gibbs Plaintiffs’ Pathway Fellows will be given meaningful, case‐related work and training to provide a first‐hand and immersive look at the practice of plaintiff‐side law.

Fellowship recipients will receive, at a minimum:

• A ten‐week paid summer position;
• A stipend to assist with law school tuition; and
• Sponsorship to attend the American Association for Justice’s 2026 Annual Convention

Here’s what our former fellows have said about the program: 

“[T]he level of thoughtfulness and care the attorneys put into the summer program surprised me. It felt like the whole firm was focused on making sure we received the best training and experience possible.” – Yusuf A.

“I was not aware that there were careers where I could both help real people and take care of my family. My law school only really pushes big law and public interest. I am applying to plaintiff-side litigation firms for next summer!” – Lizbeth M.

“I grew more as a researcher and writer in my time [as a fellow] than I did in my entire 1L year. I got to do substantive work on hugely important cases where we represented thousands and thousands of clients. The associates and the partners gave extensive feedback and advice on improving my work product and research methods.” – Summer H.
