Applications are now being accepted for the Con Law student fellowships. Fellows work with the director of the Center for Constitutional Law at Akron, Prof. Tracy Thomas, on research, programming, and public education. Projects include, but are not limited to, research for scholarly books and articles (both legal and historical archival work), leadership of student discussion forums, developing content for social media, and working with community partners. More information about the work of the Center generally is available on the website at https://www.uakron.edu/law/ccl/
Fellows are expected to devote five hours per week to the work of the Con Law Center for the entirety of the school year. Research work for the Center will be compensated, while the other work for the Center of public education and programming is volunteered as part of the fellowship experience. The Con Law Center will select three students to serve as fellows in the next academic year. Interested students should send a current resume and letter with an explanation of interest in the con law fellowship to Professor Tracy Thomas at thomast@uakron.edu by March 31, 2017.
Of related interest in the future, Professor Brant Lee will also be selecting Social Justice fellows to work with him under the umbrella of the Social Justice Project. This is a separate program and a separate application process from the con law fellowships, and interested applicants should contact Prof. Lee directly at btlee@uakron.edu. Students would not be able to do both the con law and the social justice fellowships due to the demands of each position.
