Fellows hear from Judge Lisa Branch.

TFAS is eager to welcome a new cohort of 23 law students to its nine-week intensive Summer Law Fellowship. Fellows will acquire the skills necessary to defend the principles of a free society rooted in individual liberty, limited government, free enterprise and constitutional originalism.

In addition to receiving two credit hours for classes on Constitutional Originalism and Law & Economics through the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, Fellows will participate in networking events, career development workshops and attend law and public policy lectures with leading constitutional scholars, judges and practicing attorneys.
