The Administrative Conference of the United States (Conference) is accepting applications from graduating or recently graduated students of the University of Pennsylvania Law School (Penn) and New York University School of Law (NYU) to serve as a Williams Fellow for a one-year period beginning in September 2016. Named after the Conference’s first Chairman, Jerre Williams, the fellowship is especially well-suited to aspiring academics in administrative law.
THE CONFERENCE
The Conference is an executive branch agency whose principal mission is to recommend empirically based improvements to administrative procedure and related matters to the President, federal agencies, Congress, and the federal judiciary. The Conference also assists individual agencies in improving administrative programs, publishes sourcebooks of enormous value both to the government and public, and provides nonpartisan advice to other agencies and Congress. Most of the research for the Conference is conducted by distinguished academics in law and related disciplines. For additional information about the Conference, please visit www.acus.gov.
QUALIFICATIONS
An applicant must hold (or expect to receive this spring) a J.D. from Penn or NYU, possess outstanding analytical and writing abilities, and work well with others in a collaborative environment. A strong background in administrative law and related subjects is preferred.
