* The Firm:
Founded in 2002, (“TZ”) is a nationally renowned public interest plaintiffs’ law firm with offices in Washington, D.C., California, and Ohio. At the heart of the Firm is its mission to protect the public interest through significant, impactful litigation. Specializing in class actions and other complex litigation, as well as qui tam and False Claims Act litigation, TZ’s bicoastal teams of exceptional and compassionate advocates represent individuals and groups across the country in a wide array of high-impact matters relating to economic, social, and employment justice, including in the areas of consumer protection, whistle blower rights, civil rights and liberties, higher education, wage and hour, health care, and data privacy.
The Fellowship:
