Seton Hall Law Student Award Peggy Browning Fellowship
Philadelphia, PA, June 14, 2017 - The Peggy Browning Fund has awarded a 10-week summer
fellowship to Anthony Osei, a third-year student at Seton Hall School of Law. Anthony
will spend the fellowship working at Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C. in New York,
NY. The application process is highly competitive, and the award is a tribute to his
outstanding qualifications.
In 2017, the Peggy Browning Fund will support over 80 public interest labor law fellowships nationwide. Securing a
Peggy Browning Fellowship is not an easy task, with nearly 400 applicants this year
competing for the honor. Peggy Browning Fellows are distinguished students who have
not only excelled in law school but who have also demonstrated their commitment to
workers’ rights through their previous educational, work, volunteer and personal experiences.
Anthony certainly fits this description.
In August 2014, Anthony graduated cum laude from Florida State University with a degree
in Criminology and Political Science. Since entering law school, Anthony began searching
for a career path that would allow him to use his legal education to make a difference
in the lives of others. That is how he discovered labor law. Since then, Anthony has
advocated for pro se litigants in employment discrimination matters through a mediation
clinic affiliated with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Last summer, he was a legal intern in the Office of the General Counsel at D.C. 37,
where he attended labor management meetings and drafted a post hearing brief for an
out of title grievance arbitration. Anthony has spent this academic year as a law
clerk for Levy Ratner P.C and looks forward to an exciting summer as a Peggy Browning
Fellow.
The Peggy Browning Fund is a not for-profit organization established in memory of
Margaret A. Browning, a prominent union-side attorney who was a member of the National
Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from 1994 until 1997. Peggy Browning Fellowships provide
law students with unique, diverse and challenging work experiences fighting for social
and economic justice. These experiences encourage and inspire students to pursue careers
in public interest labor law.
