Thrilled to announce two of our recent graduates—Ellen Goodrich ’23 and Lily Talerman ’23—were selected to receive Duke Law’s Farrin Fellowship!👏👏 Both student-attorneys in the First Amendment Clinic during their third year, Talerman and Goodrich displayed enthusiasm for an area of law that is vitally important to society and culture, said Senior Lecturing Fellow Amanda Martin, the clinic’s supervising attorney. “Ellen and Lily’s characteristics and passion-forward approaches to practice are not always a given in this field. They are enthusiastic, passionate, and truly committed to their areas of interest,” said Martin. Established by James Farrin ’90 and his wife, Robin, in 2021, the Farrin Fellowship is awarded to graduating students that have displayed a strong focus on public interest work throughout their studies and professional learning experiences.
