UC Law student awarded Squire Patton Boggs Foundation Fellowship

Congratulations to University of Cincinnati College of Law rising second-year law student Madeline Brown, who was selected as a Squire Patton Boggs Foundation Public Policy Fellow. She is spending her summer working at the Hamilton County (OH) Court of Domestic Relations and Family Law Clinic. In this role she provides information, referrals, and other related services to low-income family court litigants. As a result, Brown will be helping to ensure that the families of her community have access to the legal resources they need.

Said Brown about her summer position, she will be supporting people who are “often in particularly emotional and difficult positions, especially in matters involving domestic violence and/or child custody disputes…”

“We are fortunate to be included in the Dean’s Circle with the Squire Patton Boggs Foundation. Not only do our students receive a summer stipend, but they gain invaluable experience at organizations like the Court of Domestic Relations. Part of the Foundation’s criteria for a fellowship award is that the summer work will contribute to the public good – there is no doubt Madeline is doing just that,”  commented Denise Durbin, Assistant Dean, Center for Professional Development.

A graduate of the College of William and Mary, Brown has been very active at Cincinnati Law. She is an Associate Member of the University of Cincinnati Law Review, serves on the Honor Council, and is the president of the American Constitution Society.  She intends to pursue a public interest career and to be a part of needed policy changes for domestic violence survivors and the treatment of children in domestic legal matters.
