The Miriam Maccoby Netter Fellowship

The New York Bar Foundation is accepting grant applications to conduct The Miriam Maccoby Netter Fellowship, created and funded by the Intellectual Property Law Section. December 31, 2012 is the deadline for qualified organizations to submit a grant application to the Foundation to request the $5,000 funding.

Funding for one fellowship, valued at $5,000, will be available for a public interest intellectual property organization or charity in New York State to conduct the fellowship during summer 2013. The fellow will assist the organization in matters relating to intellectual property law. Attached are fellowship guidelines which also are posted at www.tnybf.org.

A grant application and grant guidelines are accessible at http://www.tnybf.org/grantapp.htm. One grant will be awarded by the Foundation's Board of Directors by January 31, 2013 with funding becoming available in February 2013. 

The fellow will be selected by the grantee organization. The organization will offer the fellowship to a student enrolled in a New York State law school during the 2013 spring semester at the 1L or 2L level. 

The fellowship program goals are to increase the representation of lawyers in intellectual property law and to provide students with an opportunity to experience intellectual property law practice.
