Congratulations to the 2012 Skadden Fellows

It's time for celebration of a different sort -- time to celebrate, and congratulate, the latest class of Skadden Fellows. The winners of these prestigious public interest fellowships were just announced, as they are every December. Who are the Skadden fellows for 2012? Which law schools produced the most fellows? And what's different about this year's program compared to past years?

The fellows are listed below. Links to the Skadden Fellowship Foundation website and to prior ATL posts about the program appear at the very end of this post.

Congratulations to all!
