We are excited to seek applications this Fall for our new fellowship in collaboration with the Committee to Support Antitrust Laws, or COSAL.

The goal of the new fellowship is to enable new lawyers to pursue antitrust litigation as a crucial tool for accountability within the U.S. legal system, with a particular focus on facilitating the advancement of underrepresented individuals within the antitrust field, emphasizing inclusivity, fairness, and equal opportunity.
