The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law strives to teach students to be both skilled practitioners and compassionate professionals. The Public Interest Fellowship Program expands the School's long-standing tradition of service to the community and provides students the opportunity to succeed while making a difference in the community.
Students who receive Fellowships spend approximately eight weeks as summer interns for non-profit organizations that serve or advocate for the poor, disadvantaged, marginalized or under-represented of society. Since 2003, the Voice for Justice Fellowship Program has funded more than 100 law students to serve locally and throughout the world at organizations such as: Salvation Army; American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence; Innocence Project of Florida; Cook County Public Defender's Office; Michigan Department of Civil Rights; Association of Defence Counsel - International Criminal Tribunal, The Hague; Freedom House; Association Jeunes pour Jeunes Social Center, Khemisset, Morocco; Chaldean Federation of America; Multicultural Council of Windsor; Wayne County Neighborhood Legal Services; African Women's Lawyers' Association, Accra, Ghana; State Appellate Defender Office; Archdiocese of Detroit; and United Community Housing Coalition.
