From Dean Dan - March 8, 2019

The Melanie Kushnir Access to Justice Fellowship was created by the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada in honor of Melanie Kushnir, who dedicated her life to inspiring pro bono attorneys, law students, bar leaders, the judiciary, and the community, to donate their time, knowledge, and experience to those in need. The Kushnir Fellowship recognizes a law student who has demonstrated exceptional commitment to public interest law, and who will carry on Melanie’s legacy of service.
