FULBRIGHT-CASE FELLOWSHIPS IN LAW
 
 
USEFI and the Case Western Reserve University School of Law, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S., have jointly established the Fulbright-Case Fellowships in Law. The Case School of Law is a leading institution in legal education. It offers an LL.M. program for foreign lawyers in 'U.S. and Global Legal Studies'. Under this program, fellowships will be awarded to two Indian law graduates, for a period of one academic year to do their LL.M. with a clinical focus on either intellectual property rights or mediation/alternative dispute resolution at Case School of Law.
 
The Case Western Reserve University School of Law law.case.edu is a center for scholarly research, informed and creative teaching, and service to the community and the society at large.
 
Program Content
 
The selected candidates would be part of the general LL.M. program at Case School of Law and special fellows in the School of Law's Centers of Excellence. The Fulbright-Case Fellows would focus on one of two clinical contexts: intellectual property rights or mediation/alternative dispute resolution and will work closely with the directors and faculty of the Centers to which they are appointed. The intellectual property fellow would have a joint appointment in the Center for Law, Technology and the Arts and the Frederick K. Cox International Law Center. The mediation fellow would have a joint appointment in the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Conflict Resolution and the Frederick K. Cox International Law Center.
