Pride Law Fund

The Roberta Achtenberg, Steven Block and Mary Morgan Fellowship Programs are open to law students working under the supervision of an attorney at a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization anywhere in the country. Enrollment in law school is not required for the Steven Richter Fellowship. The Achtenberg, Block and Morgan Fellowships are funded in part through the generous support of the Bay Area Lawyers
