Phillips Murrah’s 2024 Diversity Fellowship Program, facilitated by the Firm’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, has come to a close. As we bid farewell to Fatima Jaime (OU Law 2L), Tesa Jeremias (OU Law 2L), Gracyn Ross (OU Law 2L), and Petra Sweiss (OCU Law 2L), we wish them the best and trust that the time and effort they devoted to our Program was well-spent.
“This was a talented and dedicated group, and we were fortunate to have them with us,” said Director C. Eric Davis, current Chair of Phillips Murrah’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. “Beyond their impressive academic credentials, the fellows are leaders with interesting backgrounds ranging from the military to business ownership to tax and even dance. We were enriched by their being with us, and we hope the Fellowship Program has benefited them, as well.”
The Phillips Murrah Diversity Fellowship Program gives participating law students an insider’s journey into the practice of law at our firm while enhancing their legal skills. The Program offers experiential legal knowledge through a series of lunch and learns, attending a variety of activities with Phillips Murrah attorneys, including hearings, mediations, depositions, arbitrations, and client meetings, as well as short-term research and writing projects. Additionally, Fellows benefit from attorney mentorships and cultivate networking relationships with a variety of professionals in the legal community.
