The NAPABA Partners and In-House Counsel Community Law Fellowship Program was launched in 2004 to address the shortage of attorneys working on behalf of Asian Pacific American populations. Recognizing that many obstacles, including the shortage of entry-level jobs, prevent committed attorneys from practicing public interest law, the Community Law Fellowship provides an opportunity for a new attorney to gain substantive experience at the Asian American Justice Center during the two-year fellowship period. The NAPABA Partners and In-House Counsel Community Law Fellowship Program seeks to develop the public interest law leaders of the future, whether they continue to work in the nonprofit arena or become pro bono advocates in the private bar.

A Community Law Fellow is a third-year graduating law student, recent law graduate or judicial clerk with a demonstrated commitment to public interest law and Asian Pacific American issues and who has the relevant skills and initiative to carry out the goals of the project.
