The Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer Legacy Committee, with the support of the Ohio State Bar Association and the Ohio State Bar Foundation, has created an annual fellowship to be awarded to two exceptional first or second year students enrolled in an Ohio law school. The fellowship is funded by the Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer Legacy Fund, honoring his commitment to the legal profession and his special interest in Ohio’s law students.
The fellowship award will be for $4,000 to fund a summer opportunity advancing one of Chief Justice Moyer’s primary initiatives. These include:
-Providing citizens with improved access to the courts, alternative dispute resolution, and advanced technology;
– advancing the tenets for which he stood: civility, ethics, judicial independence and the rule of law;
-working with national and international organizations to promote the principles of judicial independence and the rule of law within the United States and throughout the world; and
-promoting or sustaining civic education.
The award requires that the student devote a minimum of 320 hours over the course of the summer to employment or supervised independent research. In evaluating Moyer Fellowship applications, the selection committee will give priority to projects and activities that involve original research and scholarship, consistent with the stated purpose of the
Fellowship Program and legacy of Chief Justice Moyer.
The fellowship grant process is competitive and law students must submit a:
-Law Student application, including a comprehensive description of the proposed summer employment or independent as outlined in the application materials,
-Current Resume, and
-Supervisor Agreement.
The deadline for submitting a competed application is Friday, March 13, 2015. For application materials, please stop by the CPPO or email Miranda Cave (mah60@uakron.edu). Also, if you have an idea and intend to apply for the Moyer Fellowship, please set up a time to meet with Professor Joann Sahl and CPPO Director O’Brien.
