2009 Institute of Judicial Administration Summer Fellows
First-year students are encouraged to apply for the 2009 Dwight D. Opperman Institute of Judicial Administration Summer Fellows program. The fellowship is a full-time position that begins in late May 2009 and ends in early August 2009, and is supervised by Professors Oscar Chase and Troy McKenzie and Opperman Institute Executive Director Torrey Whitman. It integrates an intensive note-writing experience and research responsibilities with exposure to judges and academics. Notably, the fellows assist in preparing and attending the annual week-long program for new appellate judges in mid-July. Program faculty includes distinguished state and federal judges from around the United States.
The fellowship provides a $4,500 stipend. Recent Opperman Institute Summer Fellows have clerked for judges on the Supreme Court of the United States, state Supreme Courts, U.S. Courts of Appeals and U.S. District Courts.
Please submit a cover letter, résumé, unofficial transcript and writing sample to Torrey Whitman by email (torrey.whitman@nyu.edu) or in person to Rosetta Abraham in Vanderbilt Hall, Room 314 no later than Monday, February 9, 2009.
