I’m now working within a space that focuses on collaborating with entrepreneurs who are passionate about their ideas.”
The Roux Institute Legal Fellowship is open to recent Northeastern Law graduates committed to using their degrees in an innovative, entrepreneurial and interdisciplinary environment. It is a one-year position with the opportunity to explore a second-year term either at the Roux Institute or with one of its partners.
