Every year, the law school supports students in paid summer public-interest fellowships. These fellowships provide critical work experience at nonprofit and government organizations
Students learn of the fellowship positions through UB Students for Public Interest (UBSPI), a student group that promotes working in public interest law and connects students with opportunities. Typically, UBSPI holds a winter auction to raise funds for the fellowships, but the coronavirus pandemic made this impossible.
Congratulations to these 13 fellowship recipients.
