This week, CEO is hosting its third-annual Civil Rights Fellowship for aspiring lawyers with a series of activities and training in caselaw, enforcement practices, and public policy. The 2024 fellowship class includes ten law students fromsome of the best schools in the country: Ave Maria, Campbell University, George Washington University, Michigan State, University of Colorado, University of Florida, and University of Miami.
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, and a welcome dinner at Art and Soul on Capitol Hill.
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.
