Beverly Rogers Fellowship  
The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and William S. Boyd School of Law were pleased to announce Judy Cox as the inaugural Beverly Rogers fellow in 2008. To view the announcement, please click here.

The Beverly Rogers fellow functions as part of the ACLU’s legal team and, depending on the needs of the ACLU, assists in ACLU legislative and policy work and advances the ACLU’s agenda through non-litigation advocacy and trial litigation. The fellowship is highly competitive and is awarded to a third-year Boyd student or recent graduate who has demonstrated a strong commitment to pursuing a career in public interest law. It is a one-year fellowship, renewable for a second year.  The fellow’s salary is based upon the ACLU’s salary structure.

Faiss Fellowship       
The Faiss Fellowship is intended to offer support to a William S. Boyd School of Law student who enters a non-governmental public interest position following graduation.  Currently supported by a generous gift from MGM/Mirage, the fellowship affords its recipient a total of $10,000 to be paid in two increments of $5000, the first issued upon the recipient's start of employment, the second issued upon the recipient's start of the second year of employment. The inaugural Faiss fellowship will be awarded in 2009.
