Sears Law Teaching Fellowship
The Williams Institute annually offers
the Sears Law Teaching Fellowship to a recent law school
graduate or practicing lawyer. The Fellowship will prepare
outstanding law school graduates for careers in law teaching
and scholarship in the field of sexual orientation and
gender identity law and public policy, nationally or
internationally, or any field necessary to create a
comprehensive understanding of these topics. During the
two-year fellowship, the Fellow will conduct research,
write, and teach in this field, and assist the Williams
Institute in its work and events. The Williams Institute has
already supported four law teaching fellows, each of whom
has successfully obtained a highly-competitive tenure track
position at an accredited law school in the United States. The Sears Law Teaching Fellowship was made possible by a
generous $1.5 million gift from Jim Hooker.
See application information for the 2009 Teaching Fellowship
position.
Peter
J. Cooper Public Policy Fellowship
The Williams Institute also offers the
Peter J. Cooper Public Policy Fellowship to a
recent graduate or law school graduate who is interested in
public policy research and writing on sexual
orientation and gender identity issues. Peter J. Cooper
and Norman Blachford gave a gift of $1 million to endow
the Fellowship, which is offered annually. The Fellowship
will be offered to a qualified applicant after graduation
from an accredited college, law, public policy, or other
graduate school, who has demonstrated interest in conducting
research and writing on sexual orientation public policy
issues. During the Fellowship, the Peter J. Cooper Public
Policy Fellow will primarily support the public policy
research and writing of the Williams Institute's senior
staff and faculty, but may also conduct his/her own research
and writing projects.
See
application information for the 2009-2010 Public Policy Fellowship.
