WSU Law’s recipients of Public Interest Law Fellowships
Wayne State University Law School announced this week the 2010 Public Interest Law Fellowship (PILF) recipients. Eric Berg, Adam Clements, Bradley Dembs, Anupama Gokarn, Andrew Hoff, Phyllis Jeden, Jeffrey Kerby, Elizabeth Kruman, Natalia Santanna, Aisa Villarosa and Chelsea Zuzindlak will be gaining practical legal experience through $4,800 fellowships that will allow them to work for a variety of agencies and clinics in Michigan and Washington, D.C.
The fellowships were created by the Law School in 2009 to give students additional opportunities to gain practical experience before graduation, ease financial stresses and offer needed assistance to organizations providing legal services to underserved constituencies. Fellowship recipients will hold public interest jobs during summer 2010. A committee of Wayne Law faculty and alumni selected the recipients.
“These fellowships provide an excellent opportunity for these students to gain practical experience in public interest law,” said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman.
