DLA Piper's Raja Gaddipati Fellowship is a pipeline initiative that offers undergraduate students and recent graduates insight into a large law firm environment. The six-week, full-time paid summer internship involves a combination of research projects, lectures, and direct mentoring. Students complete a rigorous application and interview process to compete for a limited number of seats. After completion of the program, graduates have attended Harvard Law School, Georgetown Law School and Columbia Law School, among other institutions.
The fellowship is named in honor of former DLA Piper partner, Raja Gaddipati, who was deeply involved in the community and ensuring all law students have an opportunity to succeed in the profession.
