The Civil Justice Program at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles will host its 14th-annual Journalist Law
The fellowship condenses core law-school subjects and break-out topics into a long weekend filled with courses taught by law professors, judges and prominent attorneys. Fellows have the opportunity to suggest and select sessions based on their areas of interest. This year, faculty planners expect to focus on issues related to scrutiny over presidential conduct, the intersection of technology and the law, and other legal topics frequently occupying news headlines. That’s in addition to such core classes as constitutional law, criminal law, civil justice, evidence and more.
Journalists with at least three years of experience who cover the law in some fashion are encouraged to apply. Journalist fellows, who are competitively selected, receive a certificate of completion at the end of the four-day program. JLS alumni include about 500 reporters, editors and producers from a wide range of local, national and international news organizations.
There is no cost to journalists to attend the fellowship. Instruction, lodging and most meals are included. The Journalist Law School will cover half of travel expenses up to $300. Fellows will be housed at the nearby Omni Los Angeles Hotel.
