Aspiring Academics: Apply for Fellowships from the Federalist Society

I am happy to pass along this announcement from the Federalist Society:

The Federalist Society offers several different kinds of fellowships for aspiring academics to complete at top law schools.  One is a one- or two-year full time research fellowship (Olin-Searle-Smith-Darling fellowship), one is a part-time research fellowship, and one is a full time clinical fellowship.  More information may be found at the links.  The application deadline for all three is March 15.

"Let's face it: science has gone woke. What used to be an ideological virus afflicting the arts and humanities has now spread through the entire university, STEMM fields included. That's why Minding the Campus is renewing our focus on the sciences through a new, ongoing article series called Minding the Sciences. Here, we'll cover wokeism in STEMM, scientific integrity, research funding, climate science, scientific associations, and much more."

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Sounds like another great opportunity for fledgling bigots. aspiring culture war casualties, and every law school's misfits.

Choosing (or pretending) to be a vestigial right-winger seems a great way to improve one's chances to land a fellowship or federal clerkship. Could that be an important reason there are still a few clingers at most American law schools, including the stronger institutions?
