LeGaL Announces 2019 LGBT Hank Henry Judicial Fellow

The Dr. M. L. “Hank” Henry, Jr. Judicial Fellowship Program was established in memory of Dr. Henry, whose groundbreaking work as the Executive Director of the Fund for Modern Courts was instrumental in ensuring that openly gay and lesbian candidates were considered for appointed judicial positions.
LeGaL’s 22-year-old Judicial Fellowship program remains one-of-a-kind by providing fellows the chance to work with and rotate for the 10-week summer among several different judges from varying courts and tribunals. The fellows get a first-hand look at the work of openly gay and lesbian judges in federal district court, state trial and appellate courts (including the highest court in the state), and administrative tribunals, providing an insider’s understanding of the judicial system.
