The Bar Foundation
The Judge William M. Marutani Fellowship
Click here for more information and the 2011 application. The Judge William M. Marutani Fellowship was established by the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Pennsylvania (APABA-PA) in partnership with the Philadelphia Bar Foundation.
The Fellowship serves to honor the legacy of Judge Marutani, the first Asian American judge in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a distinguished member of the judiciary who served both the Asian American community and the community at large for many years. Judge Marutani’s exemplary career is a model for students committed to public service.
Providing stipends to first-year Asian American law students from area law schools to take summer internships with public interest organizations or government agencies (including the judiciary) in the Greater Philadelphia area, a primary objective of the Marutani Fellowship is to provide these law students an opportunity to gain experience in areas of the law in which Asian American attorneys are underrepresented.Donations to the The Judge William M. Marutani Fellowship may be sent to:
