The Marovitz Public
Interest Law Award
The 2010 Marovitz Award Recepiants will be announced in Mid-March!
Chicago-Kent
College of Law enjoys a rich tradition of legal activism and public
interest work. In honor of one of our most renowned alumni in
this field, each year the Hon. Abraham Lincoln Marovitz Public
Interest Law Award is given to Chicago-Kent
alumni and who have graduated in the last 15 years who have demonstrated
outstanding public interest leadership, and who most reflect “the
character, life and work of the Honorable
Abraham Lincoln Marovitz '25.” The award
carries with it a significant stipend.
With the salary discrepancy between public interest attorneys
and corporate lawyers, few graduates can afford to pursue a career
in public interest law given that the average Chicago-Kent student
graduates with almost $90,000 in student loans.
The Marovitz Award draws attention to the importance
of public interest work, and thereby encourages students to take
positions in this area.
