The Ohio State Bar Association Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer Legacy Committee, with the support of 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 at the Ohio State Bar Foundation (OSBF), honoring his commitment to the legal profession and his special interest in Ohio’s law students.   

The fellowship award will be for $5,000 ($4,000 from the Moyer Legacy Fund of the OSBF and we have requested $1,000 in matching funds from your law school) 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 (available in Career Services)
• Current Resume, and
• Supervisor Agreement.

Please review the instructions carefully before beginning the application and allow yourself, and your supervisor, ample time to complete the required information.

The deadline for submitting a completed application is March 15, 2021.  Applications should be submitted by e-mail to Melissa Quick at mquick@ohiobar.org or Simon’e Lightfoot at slightfoot@ohiobar.org. Questions should be directed to Moyer Legacy Committee Member, Rick Dove, at rick.dove@bpc.ohio.gov.
