APABA is pleased to announce that it will award a Public Interest Fellowship in the amount of $5,000 to one deserving law student during the summer of 2014.

The APABA Fellowship will be 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 that serves the Asian Pacific American community in Los Angeles County for at least a 10-week period during the summer. The law student must be supervised by a licensed attorney. Working for a public defender, district attorney, or a judge does not qualify.

For more information, please download the APABA Fellowship Application. All materials must be e-mailed by 5:00 pm on April 18, 2014 for consideration. Finalists may be interviewed by one or more members of the APABA Fellowship Committee (if determined to be necessary). The recipient of the Fellowship will be selected by the APABA Fellowship Committee, with the approval of the Board of Governors. The Fellowship award will be announced in late May 2014.
