3 announcements

Hi all,

Hope you're having an enjoyable spring break. Here are three items of
note:

1. Don't forget to sign up for our panel this coming Wednesday at noon
on the future of journalism and the Internet. Lunch is free, but you
need to register: http://www.wcl.american.edu/secle/founders/2011/20110316.cfm

2. The Federal Communications Bar Association (FCBA) Foundation is
awarding stipends to law students from its Chairman Robert E. Lee
Scholarship and Internship Fund. In 2011, the Foundation will award
several stipends to law students employed as unpaid summer interns in
positions with the FCC and other government agencies or entities with
a connection to the communications industry (i.e., broadcasting, cable
television, telephony, satellite, wireless, and information
technology). The requirements are listed below, and the actual
application is only four pages (see Google docs link below).

3. The FCBA's second in a series of programs featuring distinguished
speakers will take place on Monday, March 14, 2011 from 6:00 – 7:30
p.m. Judge Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court
of Appeals, will be discussing cameras in the courtroom, followed by a
question and answer session and reception. Emigrating from Romania
with his parents at the age of 12, Kozinski has served as a clerk to
future Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and to Chief Justice
Warren Burger. At the time of his appointment to the Ninth Circuit in
1985, Kozinski was the youngest federal appeals court judge, just 35
years old. This evening event will be held at Davis Wright Tremaine
LLP, 1919 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. Just $10 for FCBA
members, and $40 for non-members, this unique opportunity to hear from
a prominent judge should not be missed. Sign up at the FCBA's website
at www.fcba.org.

Requirements for FCBA Foundation stipend applications

Applicants will be selected on the basis of: (1) a demonstrated
interest in the communications field, (2) having secured or having
pending, an unpaid summer position (internship) for at least eight
weeks in communications with a government agency or entities with a
connection to the communications industry, (3) dependence on financial
assistance in order to accept the unpaid internship in a government
agency or entity involved in communications; and, (4) community
activities. To the extent a recipient receives unanticipated funding
for the unpaid internship, the FCBA Foundation's general policy is to
reduce its scholarship awards by any amount that a recipient's total
funding (including all sources) for the internship would otherwise
exceed $7,000.

Applications for a Lee Fund scholarship should be submitted to Kerry
Loughney, FCBA Foundation, 1020 19th Street, NW, Suite 325,
Washington, DC 20036 or kerry@fcba.org. Applications must be post-
marked by Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Applicants may be asked to
interview with members of the Foundation Board; interviews may be
conducted by telephone. Winners will be notified by Friday, April 15,
2011.
