We’re pleased to announce that we’ve selected Amelia Goldberg and Sophia Berg as our 2024–2025 Kirkland & Ellis New York City Public Service Fellows. For nearly three decades, Kirkland has funded two graduating law students from New York University School of Law and Columbia Law School to pursue a yearlong public service project that benefits New York City residents. Amelia and Sophia have both demonstrated outstanding academic achievement as well as a deep commitment to pursuing public service work. Amelia will be working with Family Justice Law Center, an organization that seeks justice for families mistreated by the child welfare system, and Sophia will be working with Sanctuary for Families, a nonprofit advocating for survivors of gender violence. We’re proud to support Amelia and Sophia in their pursuits to serve their local New York City communities. Learn more about the Kirkland fellowship program: https://lnkd.in/du3aW5A
