NSBHF prioritizes training and developing the next generation of civil rights lawyers. That’s why, since 2001, NSBHF has sponsored a two-year fellowship named in honor of late founding partner Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr., to continue his dedication and commitment to civil rights while a member of the firm and throughout his distinguished career. 

Through the Cochran Fellowship, we involve dedicated lawyers early in their careers in all aspects of complex civil-rights litigation. For more information on what to expect from the Cochran Fellowship, please click the button below.
