The Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics offers annual fellowships for UO Law students who have demonstrated a commitment to serve the public interest. Now in its 24th year, the Wayne Morse Law Fellows program has evolved to center around paid 10-week, full-time summer positions in Washington, D.C., and various locations in Oregon. During the academic year, fellows are invited to participate in the life of Wayne Morse Center, which includes public lectures and panels, lunches and receptions with speakers, and the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring. Application deadlines vary depending on the fellowship and the year, but traditionally are scheduled from mid-January through early February.
