NYC Bar Announces Winners of This Year’s Thurgood Marshall Fellowships

The New York City Bar Association is pleased to announce the winners of the Thurgood Marshall Fellowships for the 2006-2007 academic year. The Thurgood Marshall Fellowship Program provides two exceptional minority students from New York-area law schools the opportunity to work with the Association to advance the goals of civil rights and equal justice, hallmarks of Justice Marshall’s legacy.

Fellowships have been awarded to LaTanya Harry of Rutgers University School of Law and Klara Ng of Brooklyn Law School. Ms. Harry will assist the Association’s Civil Rights Committee and Ms. Ng will work with the City Bar Justice Center.

The fellowships are funded by the Orison S. Marden Lecture Fund and are open to second- and third-year minority law students from New York area law schools. Fellows were nominated by their schools and selected by the Association’s Committee on the Thurgood Marshall Fellowship Program, chaired by Ira M. Feinberg.
