2012 Minority 1L Commercial Litigation Fellowship

NY Bar Foundation's Summer 2012 Minority 1L Commercial Litigation Fellowship - deadline is Jan. 31!

This is a customary note to remind all of the upcoming deadline for 1L students of color to apply for the New York Bar Foundation's Minority Fellowship, funded through the generosity of the Commercial & Federal Litigation Section of the NY State Bar Association. The fellowship provides a $6,000 stipend for the summer of 2012 and a valuable opportunity for a student interested in commercial litigation to participate in the work of a Commercial Division Justice in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. A link to the application materials can be found HERE.

Applications must be postmarked by January 31. The fellowship will be awarded at a festive gala celebration on April 24th at Lincoln Center in conjunction with the presentation of the Hon. George Bundy Smith Pioneer Award to a distinguished member of the New York bench. The Dean of the winning student will be invited and acknowledged at the event.
