2L Pauli Murray Diversity Fellowship

At Paul, Weiss, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion defines our culture. In celebration of the varied perspectives and backgrounds that enrich our profession and help us solve problems more effectively, we proudly introduce the Pauli Murray Diversity Fellowship.

Program Description:

Our 2L Diversity Fellowship honors former Paul, Weiss associate Pauli Murray (1956). The first Black woman associate employed by a major New York City law firm, Murray established a legacy we are proud to honor by continuing to invest in the development and promotion of diverse talent.

The 2L Pauli Murray Diversity Fellowship will be awarded each year to a select group of law students pursuing a 2L Summer Associate position in our New York, San Francisco or Washington, D.C. offices. In addition to experiencing our Summer Program’s substantive assignments, robust training, multi-faceted mentorship, client engagement and social events, fellowship recipients will be awarded $50,000, to be paid in installments as follows:

• $15,000 upon acceptance of 2L summer associate offer with Paul, Weiss
• $25,000 upon acceptance of full time associate offer with Paul, Weiss
• $10,000 at the completion of the first year of practice at Paul, Weiss

Eligibility:
