A committee of Stanford Law students recently selected veteran public service counselor Susan Feathers to serve as executive director of the Levin Center for Public Service and Public Interest Law.

Law School Dean Larry Kramer said he thought Feathers would catalyze change in the center.

“We are confident that Susan will infuse new energy into our community and expertly guide the Levin Center as it tackles an ambitious agenda,” he said in an email to the Daily.

Feathers, who currently serves as assistant dean for public service at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, is an experienced public service and public interest law counselor and advocate, Kramer said.

Before joining the faculty at UPenn, Feathers was a founding director of the Public Service program and Career Center at Brooklyn Law School and was the public service counseling and programming director at Yale Law School.

She received her B.A. and M.A. from UPenn and a J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law before working at The Legal Aid Society in New York and supervising students in criminal defense and constitutional litigation clinics at Hofstra Law School.

Feathers will assume her new post at the Levin Center in mid-July.
