Fellowship Opportunities
Alameda County District Attorney’s Office started the Earl Warren Fellowship in honor of former United States Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren who served as District Attorney of Alameda County from 1925 to 1938. Earl Warren set the standard in shaping our office’s reputation for fairness, integrity, and professionalism, a legacy that endures to this day in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office.
The Earl Warren Fellowship is open to recent college graduates who are planning on attending law school. The goal of the Fellowship is to further inspire and motivate future law students in their pursuit of a legal career.
The Fellowship is a full time paid position that entails assisting our Deputy District Attorneys with discovery compliance in our Oakland and Hayward branch offices. The chosen Fellows will also support the prosecution team in trial preparation and learn first-hand the inner workings of the District Attorney’s Office.
The Mary C. Warren Fellowship is open for women who are recent college graduates interested in leadership development and the law. This fellowship aims to develop strong female leaders through a program of work experience, mentoring, and professional development. This paid fellowship is awarded annually to qualified women who are interested in pursuing careers in law, public service and leadership.
Mary was a very active and accomplished government professional that lived and served in Alameda County for more than 50 years. She led a lifetime of civic service touching countless lives and instilling positive progressive change. Mary was an eight-year veteran of the United States Navy, living life as an unassuming trailblazer for women.
During her career with the United States Post Office (USPS), she worked through the ranks, becoming one of the highest-ranking women. Through appointment by President John F. Kennedy, Mary served as Deputy Director of Personnel for the USPS. She co-authored the first labor contract for the USPS and the first affirmative action proposal for the U.S. government. Later she was appointed by President Johnson to serve on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
Warren served as Chair of the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee and Vice Chair of the California Democratic Party. She was the first woman chairperson of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce; then she served eight years as an elected Director with the East Bay Municipal Utility District. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office honors her legacy of public service and leadership through the Mary C. Warren Fellowship.
