Current & Past Heyman Fellows

HLS students and recent graduates are welcome to contact the Heyman Fellows directly to learn more about their careers in the federal government. Please keep in mind that they are very busy lawyers and will give you as much assistance as they can. Some Heyman alumni are no longer in federal government; these Fellows are so identified with asterisks, but their prior federal experience is still listed to assist you in directing your inquiry. Where Fellows have had multiple federal jobs, they are listed from most to least recent.
