Marsha Garrison Family Law & Policy Fellowship
The Marsha Garrison Family Law & Policy Fellowship is designed for Brooklyn Law School (BLS) students who are interested in pursuing legal careers in family law and policy and have demonstrated strong academic and professional achievement. The one-year fellowship, renewable for a second year, is open to all students after the completion of their first year of law school. Fellows receive a stipend during each year of the fellowship. Working with a faculty mentor, fellows select a research project, complete a major research paper, and make a public presentation at the annual Spring fellowship colloquium. Fellows do not receive academic credit for their fellowship work but may use their research as the basis for independent study or a journal note. The fellowship provides a valuable opportunity for students interested in family law and policy to pursue in-depth research, build writing and analytical skills, and make connections both within Brooklyn Law School and in the larger family-law community.
