Dean's Fellowship Program
Creighton Law Dean’s Fellows Program
Creighton Law Dean’s Fellows Program is designed for outstanding law school candidates and is based in the Jesuit, Catholic traditions of Creighton University. This selective program is for top students who will work closely with the dean of the law school and members of the dean’s leadership team, building connections with faculty, staff, alumni, and students. They will work to develop leadership skills through discussion, debate, and experiences in the classroom, on campus, and in the community. Dean’s Fellows are passionate, engaged, and seek to promote justice in our community and throughout the world.
