0 Comments

At Morrison & Foerster we work to ensure that there are no barriers to serving clients at the highest level, or to creating opportunity for our lawyers and staff. The firm has a long history of valuing diversity, as well as promoting the importance of diversity to achieving success for our clients and ourselves. We are committed to hiring and retaining lawyers who promote diversity within our firm and the legal profession.

Morrison & Foerster will be awarding up to ten $15,000 fellowships to highly motivated first-year law students who are members of a historically underrepresented group (noted further below). Fellowship recipients will receive a paid position as a summer associate in a U.S. office following their first year of law school, with the option of a position as a second-year summer associate, assuming satisfactory performance. Fellows will be assigned a team of attorney mentors during the Summer Associate Program.

The Fellowship will be paid in two equal amounts: the first payment will be awarded at the candidate’s acceptance to return for his or her 2L summer; and the second payment will be awarded at the candidate’s acceptance of full-time associate employment following law school graduation.

Applications will be accepted through January 9, 2013. Interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis.
