Williams Institute Summer FellowshipsThe Williams Institute Summer Fellowships provide a stipend to allow a UCLA law student to work for the summer for a national lesbian gay and rights organization (e.g., Lambda Legal Defense, NCLR, HRC, and NGLTF). During the fellowships, students work on research projects and assist with on-going lesbian and gay civil rights cases. These summer fellowships serve two critical functions advancing sexual orientation law. First, these fellowships provide an opportunity for talented law students to start a career in this important field and give students practical experience in working on gay rights cases. Gay legal organizations just do not have the funding to pay for summer help, so most students would not be able to work for them if these fellowships did not exist. Second, the fellowships directly advance the rights of lesbian and gay people. Because most gay legal organizations are short on staff and funds, they really need student help in the summer. Without these fellowships, organizations could not take on as many gay rights cases or help as many clients.
