1L law students of diverse backgrounds who is seeking and/or applying to work in a public interest law position during the summer after the students’ first year of law school.

The Goodwin Public Interest Fellowships for Law Students of Color offer financial awards to students of color who work in public interest positions the summer after their first year of law school. Selected fellows are guaranteed a "straight-to-callback" interview with a Goodwin Procter office of their choice in the fall interviewing season during their second year of law school. Fellows are also invited to participate in some of our summer associate program events during their summer at the public interest organization.

In addition to the three Goodwin Fellowships described above, we partner with our client Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company to provide a additional fellowship award, the MassMutual/Goodwin Public Interest Fellowship for Law Students of Color. MassMutual is also strongly committed to promoting diversity in our profession and in its business.
