When he’s not tackling some of the firm’s most complex litigation matters, Washington, DC associate and former William T. Coleman Jr. 1L Fellow Shallum Atkinson, Esq. can be found on the golf course, exploring new travel destinations, or refereeing basketball games at the collegiate and high school varsity levels. We asked Shallum to share his experience as a 1L Coleman Fellow, and here’s what he had to say: “The 1L Coleman Fellowship was an incredibly valuable experience because it gave me the unique opportunity to learn so much through the eyes of lawyers in the field and to explore whether I could see myself in their shoes someday over the course of the two years remaining in law school. The best advice I received was to always work on your craft because a legal career is a long journey, and there is always more you can learn and ways you can be better.” - Shallum Atkinson, associate and former William T. Coleman Jr. 1L Fellow ➡️ We are now accepting applications for the 2025 William T. Coleman, Jr. 1L Diversity Fellowship. Submit your application by January 15, 2025, for the opportunity to join us in one of our U.S. offices during the summer of 2025.

We asked New York associate and former William T. Coleman Jr. 1L Fellow, Bryanna Willis, to share some advice to a future Coleman Fellow: “The greatest advice I could give to a Coleman Fellow would be to be your authentic self and allow yourself to enjoy the process.

It will help you understand yourself better, and it will present you with opportunities you hadn’t even imagined.” – Bryanna Willis, associate and former Coleman 1L Fellow ➡️ We are now accepting applications for the 2025 William T.
