I probably should try to keep the number of applicants down to increase my chances, but since chances are I won’t get selected anyway, here it is: Ron Plesser Fellowship:
The law firm of DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary has established a public interest fellowship at the Center for Democracy and Technology (‘CDT’) in honor of Ron Plesser, a senior partner at the firm who died suddenly last fall. Ron was a leader in the fields of e-commerce, freedom of information, and privacy law who began his career as a public interest lawyer. Over the course of his legal career, Ron helped frame the still-evolving legal standards for information policy in the digital era. In order to encourage new lawyers to follow in his path, the first fellowship will be awarded in 2006 to a recent law school graduate to practice in the areas of privacy law and Internet policy at CDT for two years under the direction of the organization’s senior attorneys.
