Announcing Public Interest Fellowships for the 2008 ACS National Convention
June 12-14, 2008
Washington, DC



In order to enable more junior public interest lawyers to attend the ACS National Convention, this year ACS will for the first time be making available a limited number of fellowships for attorneys working in the government and public interest sectors who have been in practice for 5 years or less. The 2008 ACS National Convention will take place at the Hyatt Regency in Washington, DC from June 12 - 14. Recipients will receive registration for the convention, lodging at the Hyatt Regency and a stipend for travel.

* Speak to a student chapter
* Judge 2009 moot court briefs
* Write an ACS Blog post
