Richard J. Doherty and Jon F. Erickson Chicago Law Internship Endowment

The Richard J. Doherty and Jon F. Erickson Chicago Law Internship Endowment provides financial assistance to undergraduate Northern Illinois University students who will participate in a summer internship with the Chicago Bar Foundation, the Richard J. Daley Center Pro Bono Resource Center, and the Office of the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County. This endowment supports students seeking practical legal experience through public service internships in the Chicago area. The scholarship helps offset costs associated with unpaid or low-paid summer legal internships, enabling students to gain valuable professional experience in the legal field while serving the community.
