Texas Law Fellowships (TLF) is a registered nonprofit organization which promotes public interest law at The University of Texas School of Law. TLF ' s mission is to promote a lifetime commitment to public service among UT law students by dedicating their legal careers to public interest law. The primary function of TLF is to fund summer fellowships for students to serve non-profit legal services organizations. TLF was founded in 1987 by a group of law students who were con- cerned with the lack of public interest opportunities at the law school. The organization is fully operated by a volunteer student board. TLF has made great progress since its incep- tion. The number of fellowships FRONT ROW: Laurie Meggesin, President, Angelyque Campbell, Claris Ramos, Sylvia Cedillo, Vice-President for Internal Fundraising, Melanie Kane, Michelle Werch, Andrea LaRue, Vice-President for Internal Fundraising.

The Texas Journal of Business Journal selected its staff on the basis of a writing competition administered in the spring of each year and acade- mic performance. Membership was kept low during the transition phase of the Journal, but growth is expected in the future, providing greater oppor- tunities for participation.
