Students Needed for the Fellowship in Philanthropy and the Law
Professor Jill S. Manny will interview students interested in working on legal issues affecting nonprofit organizations. The law of nonprofit organizations covers a broad range of legal issues, including tax, fiduciary duties, economic issues, constitutional law, contract law, and litigants’ standing. Policy questions pertaining to the special circumstances of philanthropies play an important role in this area.
Two fellows, working together in a team effort, will prepare a comprehensive discussion of a selected legal problem relating to nonprofit organizations, in the nature of a law review article. It will be printed and circulated throughout the nonprofit community by the National Center on Philanthropy and the Law (NCPL), posted on the NCPL’s Web site, and probably will also appear in a law review. The fellows will be credited, by name, as the authors.
Fellows will receive “A” writing credit and three academic credits upon satisfactory completion of the project. In addition, they will be paid a stipend.
Résumés, with current telephone numbers and email addresses, and a copy of your law school transcript should be delivered to Erin Ortiz at the NCPL’s office in D’Agostino Hall, Room 205 no later than Wednesday, October 1.
