Meet the Jolly Good Fellows (tips on public-interest fellowships, from current and former fellows) 

Join the Washington Council of Lawyers for an unprecedented opportunity to meet current and former fellows from nearly a dozen different fellowship programs!

This business casual reception will give you a chance to talk to current and former fellows about tips for success in applying for postgraduate public-interest fellowships, the benefits and challenges of being a fellow, and the ways in which a fellowship can jumpstart your public-interest career. Additionally, there will be many public-interest coordinators from area law schools on hand to answer questions. The $10 registration fee also entitles you to a one-year membership to the Washington Council of Lawyers, DC's only voluntary bar association dedicated to promoting pro bono service and the public-interest practice of law.  The registration fee is waived for current WCL members!
