Melamed Fellowship

2008-2009 MELAMED FELLOWSHIP
The application period is now closed.

In 2001, the Law School initiated a fellowship program to support advanced study in the field of international business and trade law. The fellowship, the Melamed Fellowship in International Business and Trade Law, was made possible through a generous gift from Leo Melamed. Mr. Melamed, a 1955 graduate of The John Marshall Law School, is chairman emeritus and senior policy advisor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

The Melamed Fellowship in International Business and Trade Law is awarded to a full-time student in John Marshall’s LLM Program in International Business and Trade Law. The Melamed Fellow is selected on the basis of academic merit and the potential for excellence in the field of international business and trade law.

The Fellow receives one-half tuition, a paid research assistantship in the Center for International Law, and a $10,000 stipend ($5,000 per semester).   The Fellow is expected to complete the degree program in one calendar year. The Melamed Fellowship is currently being awarded every other year. All applicants for the LLM Program in International Business and Trade Law are eligible to apply for the Melamed Fellowship providing they meet all Fellowship requirements.  Please contact the Center for additional information and deadlines.
