The Williams Institute will award the Gleason/Kettel Summer Law Fellowship to provide a law student, or recent law school graduate, with a stipend of up to $5,000 to work in the field of sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy.
The Gleason/Kettel Summer Law Fellowship is committed to inspiring law students to pursue careers in sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy and to identifying the next generation of leaders committed to promoting rights and equity for the LGBT community. Through the fellowship, students gain experience and insight into the field and provide much-needed support to various organizations and scholars. Fellows must spend at least ten weeks at their placements.
