Initiative for a Representative First Amendment
The Initiative for a Representative First Amendment (IfRFA) is a shared project between the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and the Cyberlaw Clinic.
IfRFA provides financial support and career opportunities for law students from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in First Amendment law. The program helps law students build expertise, make connections with clinics, and see themselves as part of a broad web of practitioners dedicated to justice and free expression. This work is done primarily through a fellowship program, which funds law students to spend a summer diving into the nitty-gritty of freedom of expression work.
To learn more about the IfRFA fellowship, watch a conversation between Kendra Albert and two of the first year cohort fellows about their experiences.
The Legal Clinic Fund put together a report highlighting Impact Stories which summarizes the work of both IfRFA and a number of sibling clinics at various law schools. You can read this report here.
