FIRE -- probably the leading advocacy group for free speech in higher
education -- has just announced [1]their Justice Robert H. Jackson
Legal Fellowship:
Initiated in 2007, the Jackson Fellowship allows recent law school
graduates an opportunity to work closely with FIRE's President and
Director of Legal and Public Advocacy, substantively engaging
issues and cases that represent the cutting edge of First Amendment
jurisprudence and higher education law. Beginning in September,
Jackson Fellows will work from FIRE's New York office for two
years. More information about the Fellowship, including
instructions on how to apply, is available [2]here. Applications
will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Our inaugural Jackson Fellows, Azhar Majeed and Kelly Sarabyn of
the University of Michigan Law School and Yale Law School
respectively, have produced several pieces of original legal
scholarship on subjects related to FIRE's work during their term as
Fellows. Azhar has two articles slated for publication this spring:
"Learning from DeJohn v. Temple University: The Misapplication of
Peer Harassment Law on University Campuses and the Loss of Student
Speech Rights" in the Journal of College and University Law and
"Defying the Constitution: The Rise, Persistence, and Prevalence of
Campus Speech Codes" in the Georgetown Journal of Law & Public
Policy. Kelly also has a piece scheduled to be published this
month: "The Twenty-Sixth Amendment: Resolving the Federal Circuit
Split over College Students' First Amendment Rights," forthcoming
in the Texas Journal on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights.
I only rarely post such items on the blog, but in the case of FIRE --
whose work I have long admired -- I thought I'd make an exception,
especially since it's likely that quite a few of our readers would
find this to be an excellent opportunity.
