Michael Fitzpatrick, a rising 3L, received the 2019-20 Honorable Albert W. Sheppard Fellowship from the Philadelphia Bar Foundation.

Through the fellowship, Fitzpatrick will complete a year-long clerkship with the Commerce Case Management Program in Philadelphia and receive a stipend to support his experience.

Fitzpatrick serves as a research assistant for Professor Norman Stein and as a legal intern at the Department of Labor Office of the Solicitor. Last year, he interned at the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.

The fellowship will provide Fitzpatrick with firsthand experience in business law and litigation resolving complex business disputes.
