UHLC 2011 Graduate Fellowships

As part of the Professional Development Program for the Class of 2011, the University of Houston Law Center is expanding its highly successful program for short-term Public Interest Fellowships for our recent graduates.  

Under the expanded program announced by Dean Ray Nimmer, the Law Center will provide up to $4,000 to a limited number of recent graduates selected for a Public Interest Fellowship with a government agency or a 501(c)(3) public interest organization.  Work schedules are flexible, but most fellows are expected to work twenty hours a week for ten weeks beginning the last week in August and conclude the first week in November.
