Voice for Justice Fellowship

Detroit Mercy Law's Voice for Justice Fellowship financially supports students who choose to make a difference by advancing access to justice through public interest work at nonprofit organizations. Over 100 Fellows have served locally and throughout the world since the program launched in 2003.

This program, informed by our mission and Jesuit and Mercy traditions, is part of our commitment to educating the complete lawyer. We strive to teach students to be both skilled practitioners and compassionate professionals who succeed through service to others.
