Fish & Richardson is pleased to announce its 1L Diversity Fellowship Program for 2025. The program is a key component to our ongoing firm initiative to recruit, retain, and advance attorneys who will contribute to the diversity of our practice and of the legal profession.
Our 1L Diversity Fellowship Program is composed of four components: a paid summer associate position in one of Fish & Richardson’s domestic offices; mentoring by members of the firm; participation in the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity 1L Scholars Program; and up to a $30,000 award.
Eligibility
Candidates must be in good standing as a first-year law student at an ABA-accredited law school; demonstrate a record of academic and professional achievement; contribute meaningfully to diversity and inclusion through their involvements in law school or other community efforts and initiatives; and have a STEM background and sincere interest in intellectual property law at Fish & Richardson.
Applications for the 2025 Fellowship will be accepted from November 1 - December 27, 2024 at Noon (ET).
