After being awarded attorney’s fees in a successful pro bono litigation regarding the rights of consumers to appear before the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, Hill & Robbins used the fees and costs awarded to the firm to establish the Hill & Robbins Fellowship for the purpose of encouraging law students to do work in the public interest. Each year, a law student from the University of Colorado or University of Denver is awarded the fellowship to work on a public-interest project either through the Colorado Lawyers Committee or Colorado Legal Services. Past projects have included the Casillas Pesticide Project to aid Colorado migrant farm workers, the Giordano school capital construction litigation, the Taylor Ranch litigation, and various other ongoing projects within the Colorado Lawyers Committee and Colorado Legal Services.
