Winston & Strawn’s Public Interest Law Fellowship Program places incoming associates in positions at local public interest law organizations of their choice during the period following graduation and prior to their official start date with the firm.
Since 2011, when the firm established the Pro Bono Fellowship Program, 155 Winston fellows have contributed more than 40,000 hours to public interest law organizations.
