Greetings!

On behalf of the National Black Law Students Association, I encourage you to apply be a Competition Specialist this year. We are now accepting applications for the Frederick Douglass Moot Court Competition Specialist. As National Director of the FDMCC, I am specifically looking for applicants who are well organized, not afraid of research, willing to travel to some of the regional competitions and love Fred Doug! Former competitors/regional organizers are strongly encouraged to apply. Preferably, I would like to work with a 2L or 3L but will accept applications from all interested law students. The role begins this summer to help craft the problem!

This is an excellent opportunity for writing, research, and community development. It's also a great way to get involved with the National Board and continue to improve the caliber of competition. Applications consist of an updated resume and cover letter with a brief statement discussing your interest in serving for this position. You may send them to me directly or to the addresses below.

The official due date is June 7th. If you need more time, please contact me before the 7th to indicate your interest and we can proceed from there. Feel free to direct any questions about FDMCC to me at this address or at mmw2144@columbia.edu.

If you are unable to serve this year but know an excellent candidate, please pass this message along.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Mia White
