This week, CEO is hosting its second-annual Civil Rights Fellowship for aspiring lawyers with a series of activities and training in caselaw, enforcement practices, and public policy. The 2023 fellowship class includes ten law students from some of the best schools in the country: American University, Arizona State, Brigham Young University, George Mason, Georgia State, Southern University, Stetson, University of Miami, and the University of Wisconsin.
The first of its kind program, spearheaded by CEO President and General Counsel Devon Westhill, is taking place here in Washington, D.C. We kicked things off with a discussion on post-Civil War constitutional amendments and major civil rights legislation, a tour of the National Museum of African American History, a visit to CEO’s office, and a welcome dinner at il Canale in Georgetown.
CEO fellows are now taking part in a series of seminars with some of the best legal and policy minds in the country followed by media training to prepare a new generation to speak out on our colorblind principles. The sessions are taking place at the offices of one of our closest allies, the New Civil Liberties Alliance.
