Public Interest Law Fellowship program
The Wayne Law Public Interest Law Fellowship (PILF) program was created in an effort to allow students additional opportunities to gain practical experience, ease financial stresses, and offer needed assistance to organizations providing legal services to underserved constituencies. Fellowship recipients, who will hold public interest jobs during the summer, are selected by a committee consisting of Wayne Law faculty, staff and students.
The application deadline for 2011 has passed.
