Investing in leaders of tomorrow. It’s not enough to say we want an equitable and inclusive legal community. As a national leading member of the profession, we have to invest in a legal community that is representative of our population. So we put our money where it counts: in the hands of high-achieving law students from diverse backgrounds.
The 1L and 2L Diversity Fellowship Programs are designed to promote diversity at Goodwin and in the legal profession by providing opportunities for law students from historically excluded groups. Established in 2005, Goodwin’s 1L Diversity Fellowships provides first-year law with the opportunity to be a 1L summer associate in Goodwin’s 10-week summer program, following their first year of law school. The Goodwin 2L Diversity Fellowships program provide second-year law students with the opportunity to earn a position in Goodwin’s 2023 Summer Associate program, in addition to receiving an award of $30,000 to help cover expenses during their third year of law school.

At Goodwin, years of practicing law have taught us that our investment is best placed in high-achieving law students from underrepresented backgrounds who bring new perspectives and help create a more inclusive environment. With diversity, equity and inclusion being core values of our business, we know that recruiting, developing and retaining outstanding law students and lawyers from historically excluded backgrounds allows us to break barriers within the legal profession and achieve unparalleled results.
Goodwin is proud to partner with Meta on our HBCU IP/Tech Scholarship Program. Goodwin will provide $20,000 scholarships to graduating seniors from historically excluded populations who are currently attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and will be starting law school in fall 2022.
