UGA Law has more than doubled the number of fellowships it grants for summer public interest jobs over the past two years, driven by increased interest from students and additional resources from alumni-supported funds and other sources.

UGA Law has awarded stipends to 48 rising 2Ls and 3Ls for jobs this summer at groups ranging from the Atlanta Legal Aid Society to Boat People SOS in Thailand. That’s up from 22 students in 2016, when the law school started a push to support these endeavors.
