Class of 2013 Skadden Fellows again a mixed group
The Skadden Foundation has listed its Class-of-2013 fellows. Twenty-nine fellows, hailing from 16 law schools, will begin their projects next year. Six schools had multiple fellowship awardees: Columbia (2); Harvard (6); NYU (4); Stanford (2); Georgetown (2) and Yale (3). Other schools from which fellows come include Penn, Michigan State, University of Washington, Boston College, UCLA, UC Irvine, Washington & Lee, Vanderbilt, University of Chicago, and University of Illinois. The 2013 Class includes four additional fellowships funded in memory of Joe Flom and Peter Mullen. The Fellows will work in 10 states and the District of Columbia, focusing on issues ranging from the harassment of LGBT students in rural, impoverished regions of New York State to the foreclosure of homes of working poor Los Angeles families.
For comparison’s sake, here’s how previous Skadden Fellowship classes looked:
- 2012: 28 fellows from 16 law schools;
- 2011: 29 fellows from 21 law schools;
- 2010: 27 fellows from 20 law schools;
- 2009: 28 fellows from 14 law schools;
- 2008: 36 fellows from 16 law schools.
Congratulations to the Class of 2013! The Fellowship is such a extraordinary honor, and we look forward to seeing the great things you will accomplish.
