Apply to Attend the Institute for Justice’s 2013 Law Student Conference in Washington, D.C.
The Institute for Justice, the nation’s only libertarian public interest law firm, engages in cutting edge litigation and advocacy on behalf of individuals whose rights are denied by the government. Their four pillars of litigation are private property, economic liberty, free speech and school choice.
Every summer, the Institute for Justice hosts its three-day Law Student Conference at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. The conference offers a unique approach to public interest litigation that centers around the Institute’s four pillars:
The annual conference covers the Institute for Justice’s four litigation pillars: First Amendment rights, school choice, economic liberty and private property rights. These topics are taught alongside others rarely discussed in law school, such as: natural rights theory, public interest litigation tactics, cutting-edge constitutional theories, media skills, and the use of social science research. The faculty combines IJ attorneys and staff members with leading law professors and legal experts including Randy Barnett, Roger Pilon, and Todd Zywicki. The conference’s keynote speaker is always a distinguished jurist, who offers a view of public interest law from the bench. After attending this crash course in public interest law, the IJ Way, participants are able to recognize and seize public interest opportunities in the future.
