Do you wonder what your professors work on outside of the classroom? Here’s your chance to find out! Professors speak to students in an informal setting about their personal research – what interests them, what they’ve learned, how they do it. We will start off the series this year with Professor William Forbath, one of the nation’s leading legal and constitutional scholars. Learn about his research on how Jewish lawyers a century ago used constitutional law to define what it meant to be both an American and a Jew. Join us on Wednesday, October 26 at 3:30 pm in the Sheffield Room. Light refreshments will be served. We will be recording the session for those who can’t make it – a link will be posted on the Library’s blog.

Fried Frank has created unique programs that effectively bridge the worlds of private law firm litigation and public service law by joining with two of the country's leading civil rights advocacy organizations, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) and the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF).

The LDF and MALDEF Fellowships each give an entry-level lawyer the opportunity to spend two years as a Fried Frank litigator and then two years as a staff attorney with LDF or MALDEF. At the end of their four-year commitment, our successful Fellows are encouraged to interview to return to Fried Frank and, in some cases, they may continue on the staff of their civil rights organization. We are proud that a number of our former Fellows hold high-level positions on the staffs of both LDF and MALDEF.

The ideal candidate for a Fried Frank Fellowship is a third-year law student or recent graduate currently in a judicial clerkship. Candidates for the MALDEF and LDF fellowships should have a genuine interest in both corporate and civil rights litigation. For the MALDEF Fellowship, Spanish language skills are highly desirable.

The application deadline for all programs is November 1, 2011.
