Skadden Fellowship Information

The Skadden Fellowship provides two years of funding for recent law school graduates to work in the public interest, addressing the civil legal needs of people living in poverty in the US. 

The Skadden Foundation has recently posted the updated Fellowhip application, along with updated FAQs, on the website's application process page. The Skadden Fellowship application will be due on September 14, 2020. 

The Foundation encourages applications from individuals who are members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in the legal profession, as well as from those whose personal or professional experiences have yielded deep connections with or insights into the marginalized client communities they seek to serve.

If you would like additional general information about the Skadden Fellowship, please consider joining one of the virtual information sessions. The dates and times are listed below, and the dates, times, and log-in information are all posted on the website's application process page
