Since 1973, the Supreme Court Fellows Program has enabled exceptionally talented people to contribute to the work of the federal judiciary. Each year, four Fellows are selected and placed at one of the following sponsoring agencies – the Supreme Court, the Federal Judicial Center, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, and the United States Sentencing Commission. Founded by Chief Justice Warren Burger, the program provides fellows an opportunity to study firsthand both the administrative machinery of the federal judiciary and the dynamics of inter-branch relations.
