Public Interest Fellowship Recipients

The South Asian Bar Association of Greater Boston (SABA GB)  congratulates Hirah Ahmed and Dhairya Bhatia, the winners of the SABA GB 2022 Law Student Public Interest Fellowship, sponsored by  generous donations from Nutter McLennen & Fish and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP.  Each $5,000 Fellowship award enables a law student to work in otherwise unpaid summer internships with community and public interest organizations.

With the support of the summer fellowship, Hirah worked at Prisoner Legal Services and Dhairya worked at Greater Boston Legal Services in the Consumer Rights Unit.

SABA GB is proud to award the Fellowships to Hirah and Dhairya, and to support their careers.
