1998 2022 10 Fellows 104 Fellows FELLOWSHIP BY THE NUMBERS From an initial cohort of 10 Fellows in 1998, PBF’s Fellowship program grew to an astounding 104 funded placements in 2022. These Fellows include service and retail workers who successfully organized their workplaces, researchers, teachers, second and third generation union members, shop stewards, artists, musicians, Fulbright Scholars, summa cum laude graduates, and students with boundless passion for worker advocacy. In short, they represent the future of workplace justice lawyering; driven, progressive students pursuing union-side labor law to protect and advance worker’s rights. The need for passionate labor lawyers who reflect the workers they represent is clear. At a time when the tools to safeguard diversity are met with increasing hostility in courts and legislatures, PBF’s Fellowship program ensures that the broad range of students pursuing public interest workplace lawyering have meaningful financial support, educational opportunities, and a nation-wide professional network to support them from school to practice. 14
