The APABA Public Interest Fellowship, in the amount of $5000, is awarded to a law student who demonstrates leadership potential, maturity and responsibility, as well as a commitment to making a contribution to the APIA community. The law student must find a position in a nonprofit or governmental public interest organization and work substantially in a unit that serves the Asian Pacific American community in Los Angeles County for at least a 10-week period during the summer; working for a public defender, district attorney, or a judge does not qualify.
To be eligible for the APABA Fellowship, potential applicants must be enrolled and in good standing at an ABA-accredited law school during the 2012-2013 academic year. Applicants must secure a position at a Los Angeles area nonprofit public interest organization with an emphasis on assisting the APIA community. All materials must be emailed by April 15, 2013 for consideration.
