AB 100 creates a privately funded fellowship program for law school graduates, who would then have the opportunity to work within the legislative branch of the California state government. This bill also provides an academic component, which allows these law school graduates to put their law school loans on hold while they are working in the public sector. AB 100 is helpful to the state because it is facing a soon-to-be retiring legal workforce – more than 36% of the state’s attorneys are age 55 and over.
