The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law strives to teach students to be both skilled practitioners and compassionate professionals. The Public Interest Fellowship Program expands the School’s long-standing tradition of service to the community and provides students the opportunity to succeed while making a difference in the community.
Students who receive fellowships spend approximately eight weeks as summer interns for non-profit organizations that serve or advocate for the poor, disadvantaged, marginalized or under-represented of society. Since 2003, the Voice for Justice Fellowship Program has funded more than 100 law students to serve locally and throughout the world at organizations such as:
• Salvation Army.
• American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence.
• Innocence Project of Florida.
• Cook County Public Defender’s Office.
• Michigan Department of Civil Rights.
• Association of Defence Counsel - International Criminal Tribunal, The Hague.
