Finding community at law school is vital, particularly while navigating the rigors of legal study. At Stanford Law, a new fellowship is offering both community and exciting scholarly opportunities. The fellowship program brings together a tightly knit cohort of a dozen second and third-year law ...students to spend one or two academic years working on the Rhode Center for the Legal Profession’s core research and policy-making projects. Professors David Freeman Engstrom and Nora Freeman Engstrom have co-directed the Rhode Center since 2021 and created the Civil Justice Fellows program in 2022. “It’s the Center’s jewel in the crown,” David says. “We are creating and nurturing a pipeline of talented young lawyers who care about these important issues.” An overarching goal of the Fellows’ program, says Nora Freeman Engstrom, Ernest W.
