Doug Smits, third-year student at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, was recently awarded the Skadden Fellowship. This prestigious two-year program, which is given to 20-25 recipients annually, provides funding for pursuing public interest projects related to civil legal issues.
Recipients of the Skadden Fellowship are required to partner with an organization, create a proposal, apply and interview. Once accepted, the first two years of their salary will be paid by the fellowship to execute their plan.
