The Public Interest Fellowship offers experienced lawyers the opportunity to create a program that provides civil legal services to indigent Georgians. It seeks to expose law students to experienced practitioners with an interest in public interest law.

Each Fellow works with a host organization, from which the Fellow will work to implement their project proposal.

 

 

The Skadden Fellowship Foundation was established in 1988 to commemorate the firm's 40th anniversary, in recognition of the dire need for greater funding for graduating law students who wish to devote their professional lives to providing legal services to the poor (including the working poor), the elderly, the homeless and the disabled, as well as those deprived of their civil or human rights. The aim of the foundation is to give Fellows the freedom to pursue public interest work; thus, the Fellows create their own projects at public interest organizations with at least two lawyers on staff before they apply.
