2L Diversity Fellowship

Do you want to work for a dynamic, entrepreneurial firm where the attorneys work collaboratively to achieve individual and collective success?  Then we urge you to consider Riddell Williams.  At Riddell Williams, we acknowledge and respect the differences of each person in our firm.  Through our ongoing commitment to diversity, we foster mutual understanding, support and trust.  This includes education, mentoring, training and encouraging community leadership activities.

To further this commitment, we are proud to offer the Riddell Williams
(RW) Diversity Fellowship.  Our Fellowship includes a salaried summer associate position in addition to a $5,000 scholarship to defray tuition and expenses during the academic year.

We recognize that diversity can exhibit itself in many different forms, including gender, race, national origin, religion, age, veterans status, political affiliation, marital status, disability, socioeconomic circumstances, geographic background, sexual orientation and family circumstances.  We will place particular emphasis on candidates who are members of groups that are historically under-represented in the legal profession and at RW.

Applications are solicited from candidates each year based on the following criteria:

*         The candidate will be enrolled as a second year law student in
the fall of 2009 and in good standing for a JD degree at an ABA accredited law school;

*         The candidate must possess a distinguished academic record,
leadership ability, commitment to community service, and personal and professional accomplishments that demonstrate promise for a successful legal career;

*         The candidate's background and experience must demonstrate the
ability to make continuing contributions to the diversity of RW and the legal profession; and

*         The candidate must express interest in our practice areas and
commitment to building their practice in the Seattle area.

Application Materials:

*         A current resume;

*         An undergraduate and law school transcript (unofficial copies
are acceptable); and

*         A one to two page personal statement addressing the selection
criteria and explaining why the candidate believes that his or her background and experience would contribute to enhancing the diversity of RW and the legal profession.

Interested students should mail or email applications by September 15th
to:
