PRUDENTIAL FELLOWSHIP 2010 – NAPABA, USA
National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) Prudential Fellowship 2010 of USA
About NAPABA:
Though NAPABA is the only national APA bar association, NAPABA was not the first. In 1980, a bar was formed by APA attorneys attending a national minority attorney conference in Washington, D.C. However, the APA attorney population lacked the critical mass nationally to support the organization and it failed.
Detail:
The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) is pleased to announce a partnership with Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential) to provide a meaningful fellowship opportunity to a highly-motivated recent law school graduate. Through this partnership, NAPABA will select a 2009 or 2010 law school graduate to join the Prudential Law Department
as the NAPABA-Prudential Law Fellow. The Fellow will work full-time for 18 months in Prudential’s Newark, NJ, offices beginning on December 1, 2010. During this time, the fellow may work in up to three Law Department
divisions, which may include the Insurance, Investments, Litigation/Regulatory, Corporate Governance, Mergers & Acquisitions, Employment & Labor, Employee Benefits and International divisions. The Fellow will be paid an annual salary of US$60,000 with benefits. The Fellow will be expected to seek employment outside of the Prudential Law Department after the end of the fellowship.
Primary Responsibilities:
The Fellow’s responsibilities shall include, but not be limited to, the following: executing legal transactions; securing, preparing, drafting, and processing legal documents; undertaking legal research; litigation support; and other special projects. The Fellow shall assist attorneys in providing legal advice to internal clients on a daily basis.
