FASPE Law Fellowship

About

The FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) Law program offers a profound and transformative experience for law students and early-career legal professionals. This fully funded two-week fellowship takes place in Berlin and Poland, utilizing the history of the Holocaust as a lens through which to examine modern-day legal ethics and leadership. For those who dream of making a meaningful impact, FASPE provides a rare opportunity to step away from the daily grind of case law and engage in deep, philosophical reflection on the moral responsibilities of the legal profession.

Participants will travel to historic sites, including the Wannsee Conference House and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, to study how lawyers and judges in Nazi Germany failed to uphold ethical standards, ultimately contributing to state-sponsored crimes. By examining these historical failures, Fellows gain the tools to identify and address contemporary ethical challenges in their own careers. This program is not just about history; it is about building a future where ethical leadership is the cornerstone of the legal system. If you are ready to challenge your perspectives and join a community of dedicated, like-minded professionals, this fellowship is for you.
