The Silha Fellowship and Research Assistantships
The Silha Fellowships support outstanding law and graduate students in their research, as well as providing them with the opportunity to assist with a variety of Silha Center projects. In the past, law students have helped to draft comments on proposed regulations and rules before federal and state courts and administrative agencies, as well as preparing amicus briefs, including before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In addition to conducting scholarly research, Silha Fellows will be expected to make substantial contributions to the production of the Silha Center’s quarterly Bulletin.
Candidates for the Silha Fellowships must demonstrate experience in conducting legal research; students who hold or are currently pursuing a law degree are ideal. Applicants with a journalism degree, or prior experience in journalism, are strongly preferred. An interest in new media and/or journalism ethics will be a plus. Fellowships are awarded initially for one year.
Research assistantships are also available.
Please submit the following:
1. A copy of the SJMC scholarship application (available from the SJMC Graduate Office)
2. A copy of academic transcripts
3. A letter explaining areas of personal interest in media law and ethics; how this interest could benefit the Silha Center; and how an association with the Silha Center would enhance professional and academic progress.
To obtain the SJMC scholarship application form, or to submit your completed application, please contact Kelsey Olson, Graduate Student Services, at (612) 625-4054 or e-mail at sjmcgrad@tc.umn.edu. Closing date for applications is March 24, 2008.
