We are excited to introduce Lindsay DeGraw as the 2025 Utah Legal Inclusion Fellow! Lindsay is a first-year law student at Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School. Now in its fourth year, this incredible partnership between Intermountain Health, Kirton McConkie, and the Utah Center for Legal Inclusion (UCLI) continues to create opportunities for aspiring legal professionals.
The Fellowship this year offers one law student a coveted position in Kirton McConkie’s summer associate program. Fellows also gain invaluable exposure by working closely with Intermountain’s in-house legal team, providing a firsthand look at how law and healthcare overlap. This program is a vital part of UCLI’s mission to empower law students in Utah by creating meaningful professional connections and fostering a more inclusive legal community.
We were thrilled by the caliber of applicants this year and are honored to select Lindsay as the 2025 Inclusion Fellow. Her impressive achievements and dedication stood out among a competitive pool of candidates.
Learn more about Lindsay and her journey below:
Lindsay, a Kansas native, has loved living in Utah since moving here in 2019 to attend Brigham Young University. She earned her degree in English from BYU, where she developed a deep love for people’s stories and the power they have to create change. She fosters a passion for disability inclusion, which stems from personal experiences and has been further shaped by her recent involvement with the disability community. As an undergraduate, Lindsay wrote a social impact research brief about family caregivers in one class and completed a project on disability representation in literature in another. Outside of class, she volunteered with BYU’s Adaptive Show Choir, an activity she enjoys to this day. Now a 1L at BYU Law, Lindsay is committed to advocating for people with disabilities and using her legal education to make a meaningful impact. No matter where her legal career takes her, Lindsay hopes to use her skills to serve others and promote inclusion.
