Congratulations To The 2015 Skadden Fellows

Congrats to the 28 fellows, who come from 16 different law schools.

Some things change at Skadden Arps, and some things remain the same. On the “change” side of the ledger: Skadden’s move to fancy new offices in a surprising part of Manhattan.

Remaining the same: Skadden’s commitment to supporting public interest law, including (but not limited to) its famous Skadden Fellowship program. Described as “a legal Peace Corps,” the program was established in 1988, in honor of Skadden’s 40th anniversary as a law firm. The two-year fellowships support graduating law students committed to public interest work as they embark upon specific projects at sponsoring organizations.

The Foundation just announced its 2015 class of Skadden Fellows. The 28 fellows come from 16 different law schools, with Harvard producing the most this time around and Yale taking second place (a reversal from last year). Harvard and Yale minted 6 and 4 Skadden Fellows, respectively, and U. Penn. generated 3.

Congratulations to the winners of the Skadden Fellowships, the public-interest world’s version of Supreme Court clerkships or Rhodes Scholarships, and good luck to them as they start working next year at worthy organizations around the country.
