Description
Award:
The 1L Diversity
Fellowship Program is comprised of four components: Each selected Fellow receives a paid summer
associate position in one of Fish & Richardson’s domestic offices during
the summer; mentoring throughout the academic year by members of the firm;
participation in the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity 1L Scholars Program;
and a scholarship reward of up to $30,000.
Fish will award $5,000 to all 1L Diversity Fellowship recipients upon
completion of their 1L summer clerkship with the firm; $10,000 to those
returning as a 2L summer associate at Fish for the full 10 weeks of the summer
program; and $15,000 to those who join the firm as an associate after law
school graduation. Information for the 2020 1L Diversity Fellowship Program
will be available late 2019.
Launched in 2005, Fish
& Richardson’s 1L Diversity Fellowship Program provides annual fellowships
to diverse first-year law students throughout the country. The Program represents
a key component of the firm’s ongoing initiative to recruit, retain, and
advance attorneys who will contribute to the diversity of our practice and of
the legal profession.
