Donald P. Klekamp College of Law

Empowering Problem-Solvers to Tackle the World's Challenges

At the Klekamp College of Law, we believe students should begin practicing law the moment they begin studying it.

Through the Summer Public Interest Fellowship (SPIF), first-year law students spend a full summer immersed in deep and meaningful legal work — serving clients in courts, nonprofit organizations, and community-based legal settings that are mission-driven and unable to compensate first-year students.  These placements are full-time, hands-on experiences where students develop client communication skills, legal research and writing ability, courtroom exposure, and professional judgment at a formative stage of their education.

In a legal market where paid first-year positions are increasingly limited, SPIF ensures that students can pursue high-impact legal work based on educational value — not financial necessity. The stipends support our students directly, making it possible for talented future lawyers to gain critical field experience without sacrificing financial stability.  Students return to campus in their second year more confident, more capable, and better prepared for clinics, guided externships, and advanced coursework. This early immersion accelerates professional development and strengthens outcomes across the board.  Your support expands SPIF and scholarship funding, ensuring that every student has access to transformative experiential learning from the very first summer.

We are not just supporting students. We are shaping professionals.
