Summer is flying by and The PBEye would like to thank our Sheehan Scholars and interns for their hard work over the past few months.

We welcomed our sixth class of Sheehan Scholars this summer: Mike Andreani and Nate Hyman (Georgetown University Law Center). Bob Sheehan, who oversees the pro bono program at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom*†, former Executive Partner (1994-2009) of the firm and Co-Chair of the Law Firm Pro Bono Project Advisory Committee (2001-2015), and his family provided the financial support to launch this program in 2010, which has been named in his honor in recognition of his extraordinary pro bono leadership. We are grateful to the Sheehan family for their generosity and to Mike and Nate for spending their summer with us. They were joined by two terrific undergraduate interns: Adam Baginski (University of Michigan) and Ali Remick (Georgetown University).

Our interns and Sheehan Scholars worked on a variety of projects – large and small – and you’ve seen the fruits of their labors. We are grateful for their diligence and dedication, and we especially enjoyed their energy and fresh perspectives. We are also appreciative of the firms and individuals who supported our summer program by inviting our interns and staff to events and donating time to provide additional professional development opportunities.
