Dean's Fellows are chosen at the end of Fall semester of the first year of law school based on academic excellence. These outstanding students have a variety of opportunities to meet and work with top public interest and private sector litigators, public officials, legislators, and legal educators. They are invited to attend special events with the Dean, the Rauh Professor, and other top University officials.

Dean's Fellows work closely with the Dean to recruit applicants and to tell the District of Columbia and the broader community about the School of Law's programs and opportunities. They also assist the Dean in identifying, recruiting, and hosting speakers for the Dean's Annual Speakers Series.

Dean's Fellows receive partial tuition scholarships for their second year of law school as well as formal recognition in the School's publications and at public events.
