Duke Law School is accepting applications for the 2019 Salzburg Lloyd N. Cutler Fellows Program in International Law. Up to five 2L and 3L and qualified LLM students will be selected to participate. The Salzburg Cutler Fellows Program brings together 50 of the nation’s top law students with leading academics, judges, and practitioners in the fields of private and public international law. The two-day program examines the most critical issues shaping today’s international law agenda and creates a network of men and women interested in careers in international practice and public service. Cutler Fellows are also invited to apply for scholarships to attend seminars in Salzburg, Austria, on topics relevant to their papers and professional interests.
At the heart of the program is the preparation by each Fellow of a paper, to be submitted in a five-to-eight-page executive-summary form by January 15, 2019, for review by the other participants and a group of outstanding law professors, judges and practitioners.
Two-day program includes a Thursday night welcome dinner, all-day Friday session at the US Institute for Peace including speakers and break-out sessions for consideration of student papers, a Friday night networking dinner, and a Saturday program.
What Is the Cost? Duke Law will subsidize the cost of transportation and up to two nights of accommodation in Washington, D.C. Meals will be provided by the Salzburg Global Seminar.
