Texas Law Gideon’s Promise Fellowship

The Texas Law Gideon’s Promise Fellowship was established by the Law School in 2015. It supported eleven outstanding graduates in their work with public defender offices nationwide. From 2015 to 2022, the Law School partnered with Gideon’s Promise, a nonprofit organization that works to reform indigent defense through training and support of public defenders, to provide one-year fellowships and a three-year training program to new graduates starting their careers in public defense.
