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.
