Since Spring 2011, more than 400 law students and recent law school graduates have signed an online petition to encourage Congress to enact a legislative clerkship program.

Under the Constitution, Congress drives the federal lawmaking process and is the branch most accountable to the people. Yet of the three branches of the federal government, Congress is by far the least influential on the constitutional perspective of top lawyers and is the least accessible to them, because it does not have a formal legal apprenticeship program similar to the judiciary’s clerkship program or executive agencies’ honors programs. Accordingly, a small fraction of the profession’s elite has legislative work experience, compared to experience working for the executive branch, judges, law firms, and law schools. Congress needs a Clerkship Program.

Momentum is building in Congress. In April 2011, bipartisan sponsors Reps. Lungren (R-CA) and Lofgren (D-CA) reintroduced a bill (H.R. 1374) to create a pilot program of six clerk positions in each chamber. Last session, the House passed the bill by an overwhelming margin of 381-42.

To make a Congressional Clerkship program a reality, we need your help. Please take a few moments to join more than 400 law students in signing our petition to Congress, available at our website, http://www.congressionalclerkship.com. We believe that with a broad demonstration of student support, Congress will take action and pass the Daniel Webster Congressional Clerkship Act into law.

Sincerely,

Ali Borchgrevink & Kevin Lownds

Federal Legislation and Administrative Clinic

Since Spring 2011, more than 400 law students and recent law school graduates have signed an online petition to encourage Congress to enact a legislative clerkship program.

Under the Constitution, Congress drives the federal lawmaking process and is the branch most accountable to the people. Yet of the three branches of the federal government, Congress is by far the least influential on the constitutional perspective of top lawyers and is the least accessible to them, because it does not have a formal legal apprenticeship program similar to the judiciary’s clerkship program or executive agencies’ honors programs. Accordingly, a small fraction of the profession’s elite has legislative work experience, compared to experience working for the executive branch, judges, law firms, and law schools. Congress needs a Clerkship Program.

Momentum is building in Congress. In April 2011, bipartisan sponsors Reps. Lungren (R-CA) and Lofgren (D-CA) reintroduced a bill (H.R. 1374) to create a pilot program of six clerk positions in each chamber. Last session, the House passed the bill by an overwhelming margin of 381-42.

To make a Congressional Clerkship program a reality, we need your help. Please take a few moments to join more than 400 law students in signing our petition to Congress, available at our website, http://www.congressionalclerkship.com. We believe that with a broad demonstration of student support, Congress will take action and pass the Daniel Webster Congressional Clerkship Act into law.

Sincerely,

Ali Borchgrevink & Kevin Lownds

“Is the sky the limit for the law?”
With the increasing activities of states and private operators in outer space, the legal issues pertaining to such activities become more important.

Questions such as these form part of the subject matter of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s unique LLM Program in Space, Cyber and Telecommunications Law.

Frans von der Dunk is Professor of Space Law at the University of Nebraska, College of Law and Director (Public Relations) & Treasurer at the International Institute of Space Law.
