PUBLIC INTEREST FELLOWSHIP

Thanks to its generous sponsors, SABA Greater Boston proudly offers 1-2 Public Interest Fellowships as part of its 2024 Public Interest Fellowship Program.

This fellowship is intended to provide funding in an amount up to $5,000 for either law students of South Asian descent working over the summer in otherwise unpaid legal positions at non-profit or government organizations or law students working in an unpaid legal internship focusing on the needs of BIPOC/LGBTQ communities.

SABA Greater Boston encourages law students who have secured a volunteer internship as discussed above with a nonprofit or government organization within the Greater Boston area to apply to the program. Applicants must be enrolled for the 2024 -2025 academic year (but not be graduating in May or June 2024) and in good standing in a U.S. law school. Volunteer internships must be full-time for at least ten weeks. The internship must provide the law student with substantial legal experience.

Applications for the 2024 Public Interest Fellowship Program are now closed. 

Please contact sabagbmentorship@gmail.com with any questions. 

2024-2025 MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Applications for the 2024-2025 Mentorship Program are now closed. 

Every year, the Mentorship Committee of the South Asian Bar Association of Greater Boston runs a Mentorship Program. This program is open to law students (1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls and LLMs) and junior attorneys (with 1-5 years of experience). All attorneys are welcome to apply as mentors. Junior attorneys are eligible to apply as both a mentor to law students and a mentee seeking mentorship from a more senior attorney.

Throughout the year, the South Asian Bar Association of Greater Boston hosts mentorship and networking events, such as mock interviews and career development panels, to provide guidance to law students and junior attorneys. In addition to formal events, the South Asian Bar Association of Greater Boston’s mentorship committee encourages mentors and mentees to connect in informal settings. Law students who have participated in the program have commented on their mentors' positive influence in helping them navigate law school and career options after graduation.

The Mentorship Program is a one year commitment. Mentors and mentees can look forward to a variety of networking and mentorship opportunities this year, including speed networking, resume reviews, mock interviews and more! 

If you have any questions about the program, please email us at sabagbmentorship@gmail.com.
