We are excited to announce the return of our annual Fellowship Program. The program aims to advance its mission of providing impactful opportunities for education, mentorship, and career development to future lawyers who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to community service and to enhancing diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. Applications for the 2026-2027 Fellowship Program are now being accepted. The submission deadline for applications is April 1, 2026.
This year’s program will run from June 2026 to June 2027 and includes both an eight-week paid summer in-person work experience and continued mentorship and social and professional development opportunities during the academic year. Eligible candidates will be in their first or second year of law school, and selected fellows will also continue participating in the mentorship component of the program during the course of their second or third year of law school.
“The best training is real experience, and this is a great opportunity for law school students to develop skills in the fast-paced world of one of the city’s top law firms,” said Nicole Haiem, a partner in the Corporate and Securities Department and chair of the firm’s Social and Community Team (CaST). “These impactful types of programs can make a real difference in shaping careers, and I’m always grateful to be in a position to pay that forward to the next generation of attorneys.”
