About:
The Skadden Fellowship Foundation launched in 1988 to commemorate Skadden’s 40th anniversary and has since become the largest public interest law firm in the United States. The program provides two-year Fellowships to recent law graduates to pursue the practice of public interest law on a full-time basis.
Their guiding principle is to improve legal services for the poor and encourage economic independence. To date, the Foundation has funded over 900 fellowships. Ninety percent of former Fellows remain in public service, and almost all of them continue working on the same issues they addressed in their original Fellowship projects.
Qualification:
- You are eligible to apply, if on that date, you are in the fall of your final year of law school (generally 3L year), an LL.M. program, a clerkship, or the final year of a graduate program in which you were enrolled concurrently with your law degree. Law students graduating in the winter or attending law school part-time should apply in their final year, which may be their 4th year. You may still apply during an LL.M. or a clerkship even if you worked between graduating from law school and starting the LL.M. or clerkship.
- Law school graduates are not eligible to apply unless they are currently serving in a clerkship, enrolled in an LL.M. program, or are in the final year of a graduate program in which you were enrolled concurrently with your law degree. Directors and Officers of the Foundation, employees of the Foundation, current and former Skadden partners, Skadden employees and their family members are excluded from applying for or receiving a Fellowship.
