The Kauffman Legal Fellowship Program provides grants of $180,000 to fund a Kauffman Legal Research Fellow at six leading law schools. This fellowship is a part of the Foundation’s Law, Innovation, and Economic Growth initiative.

"The Kauffman Legal Research Fellow is the equivalent of a post-doctoral position at a law school," said Robert Litan, vice president of Research and Policy at the Foundation. "These individuals are preparing for their legal careers and are engaged in active research agendas in law, innovation, and economic growth."

The Kauffman Legal Fellows are selected by their respective law schools and are mentored by senior faculty members with expertise in the areas of law, innovation, and economic growth.
