Social Justice Post-Graduate Fellowships

Since 2009, Seattle University School of Law has offered  Social Justice Post Graduate Fellowships to SU law graduates which create opportunities for new lawyers to work shoulder-to-shoulder with underserved and disadvantaged populations, or in other endeavors that promote social justice. This is an important way for the law school to demonstrate our commitment to develop lawyer leaders for a more just and humane world.   Seattle University School of Law continues to be the only law school in the Northwest to offer a post-graduate fellowship program.
