The Daniel J. Curtin Jr. Fellowship is a great opportunity for students to learn about the diverse legal issues that affect the planning profession and to work with the planners and legal professionals who are involved in these areas on a day-to-day basis. The legal issues underlying the planning of our cities and communities are an important and essential component in the education and training of those who would become professional planners and land use practitioners. The purpose of the Fellowship Program is to foster increased interest in the study of land use planning and its interrelationship with the law at the advanced undergraduate, graduate, and law school levels.
The Program is open to first and second year law students. Two fellowships with a stipend of $4,000.00 each will be awarded. The term of the fellowship is approximately ten months (the typical length of two semesters or three quarters). Application packages are available in the CCS and must be received by the Planning and Law Division ("PLD") of the American Planning Association by September 15, 2008.
