ABF Su Fllwshp
The American Bar Foundation offers an annual Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship For over thirty years, the ABF has welcomed hard-working, intellectually curious undergraduate students to our downtown Chicago offices to conduct research with faculty members, explore various socio-legal career fields, and network with leading players in the law and society field. In the past, students have performed archival research with LSI editor Chris Schmidt before setting off to Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood to meet with a People’s Law Center.

Amherst College Undergraduate Law Review Mission Statement:
The Amherst College Law Review (ACLR) was born out of the desire to foster
undergraduate scholarship in the liberal arts. Among our peers, the ACLR stands alone for its
interdisciplinary approach to the study of law.
Given the ever-changing nature of our society, students of law encounter a host of new,
troubling, and intriguing questions including, but not limited to, increasing inequality, salience of
technology, and neoliberal globalization. These questions cannot be fully posed, much less
answered, within the scope of conventional legal training and/or the traditional social sciences.
The mission of the ACLR is to pose these questions and to strive to answer them with the
nuance, clarity, probity, and rigor provided by the liberal arts tradition. This journal brings the
best scholarship of the contemporary humanities to bear on the most difficult and urgent juridical problems of our time.

4) Commencement Ceremonies
Commencement Ceremonies
There's always some confusion regarding the different commencement ceremonies on campus.
The University holds one General Commencement in the fall and one in the spring for all majors. No names are called, but there is usually a famous keynote speaker, other speakers, music, etc. It's a big event and not personal at all.
Departments hold one ceremony in the spring only.
Here's where you can find info regarding our Legal Studies ceremony.
The departmental ceremonies are smaller, you get to walk, have your name called and it's more personal.
It's up to you what you want to do. You can go to both, just one, or none!
Check with your family, of course, before deciding you don't want to go to any because we all know graduations are for your family.
There are also specialty ceremonies in the spring that you'll need to google info for because I do not usually get info via e-mail about those other graduations (Latinx, Black, Lavender, etc.)
Before asking me q's about these commencements, please click on the links above and read the info there. Thanks!
