Boston, MA - Senior Partner Roger Donoghue has recently been invited to join the Advisory Board of Suffolk Law School’s Rappaport Center for Law and Public Service. The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Service was created in 2007 as the result of a $5 million gift from Jerome and Phyllis Rappaport and the Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation. The Center builds on the Law School's historic strength in educating, supporting and mentoring students with an interest in public policy and public service.

The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Service is home to the already-thriving Rappaport Fellows Program in Law and Public Policy, a highly competitive program established in 2000 to provide access to summer internships, educational programming, stipends and individual mentoring for 12 law students selected annually from among applicants from Boston's six law schools. Designed as a partner of, and complement to, the public policy fellowship program of the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston based at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, the Rappaport Law and Public Policy Program since its inception has supported more than 70 fellowships for Boston's law students and has collaborated with Harvard to provide seminars and other activities for the more than 130 students from universities around the Boston area who have served as Rappaport Fellows.
