Created by NYU alumnus and current New York Law School Professor Michael Pastor in honor of his late mother, the Nina Pastor Fellowship for Technology and Justice supports NYU students who are interested in technology and justice-related legal issues and are dedicating their summers to doing public interest internships in this space. The Nina Pastor Fellowship provides $10,000, in lieu of regular summer funding, for one JD student engaged in technology-related work, including cybersecurity and/or privacy, anywhere in the United States. Students with a special connection to the issue and a passion for working on these issues are especially encouraged to apply.
To apply, please submit a resume, a short bio and personal statement (up to 500 words) identifying a) where you will be working this summer, b) why you are choosing to pursue work in law and technology space, and c) how this fellowship fits into your current career plans. Application materials should be sent to gail.zweig@nyu.edu with the subject line “Nina Pastor Fellowship.”
The application deadline for the 2025 fellowship is March 15, 2025 (open to 1Ls and 2L).
