Fellowship for the 2012 ACS National Convention

The American Constitution Society announces the:
Public Interest Fellowship for the 2012 ACS National Convention
June 14 - 16, 2012
Washington, DC

In order to enable more junior public interest lawyers to attend the ACS National Convention, ACS will again be making available a limited number of fellowships for attorneys working in the government and public interest sectors who have been in practice for five years or less. The 2012 ACS National Convention will take place at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC from June 14-16. Recipients will receive registration for the Convention, lodging at the Capital Hilton and a stipend for travel.

The ACS National Convention provides unparalleled networking opportunities for progressive lawyers. There will again be dedicated networking time following each panel discussion and fellowship recipients will be able to meet leaders from their respective practice areas, as well as leaders from their geographic areas.

In order to strengthen ties between fellowship recipients and ACS and engage them in the work of the organization, we require that fellowship recipients join ACS and do at least three of the following in the coming year:
• Speak to a student chapter
• Write an ACS blog post
• Recruit five new paid members at any level
• Volunteer for Constitution in the Classroom
• Organize a lawyer chapter event
• Mentor an ACS affiliated law student or young lawyer
• Host a mentorship dinner during Convention
• Host an out-of-town student during Convention
