The
Legal Project was delighted to be selected to receive one of only three
statewide Joan L. Ellenbogen Memorial Fellowships for
matrimonial matters by the New York Bar Foundation.
This wonderful honor provides support for a 3L or recent law school
graduate to assist us in our matrimonial caseload for the fall semester.
We are very happy to announce that Lauren Hunt was
selected for this important position. Lauren, a recent graduate of Albany
Law School, is states that she is “thrilled to be returning
to The Legal Project as their Matrimonial Fellow”. Lauren writes:
“I was lucky enough, during my second year and second summer of
law school, to be a law intern at The Legal Project. The experience
was incredibly rewarding both professionally and personally as it reaffirmed
my reasons for choosing to pursue a career in law and made me realize
my passion and commitment to working in this field. Thereafter, I was
a member of the Family Violence Litigation Clinic, organized a Family
Law conference through my position as Student Bar Association Executive
President, and finished my two years
as a member of Albany Law Review. After graduation, while continuing
the job hunt, I began volunteering as a law intern for the Hon. Mark
L. Powers, Schenectady County Family Court Judge and Acting Supreme
Court Justice. The knowledge I am gaining in my internship will no doubt
serve me well in my new position and I plan to split my time between
both chambers and The Legal Project. I am incredibly honored to be selected
for this fellowship and I am extremely excited to be working with all
the wonderful and inspiring people at The Legal Project again.”
