Dear John,
Last time we emailed you, we talked about how God blessed ADF Founder Alan Sears’ vision for a law student training program with the launch of the Blackstone Legal Fellowship 20 years ago.
This nine-week program, complete with educational training and a professional internship, is equipping and encouraging those who will be fighting for your religious freedom in the coming years.
But how does this program work?
Once a student is accepted into Blackstone, they move through three phases.
- PHASE I: Blackstone interns gather for two weeks of lectures and interactive discussions with prominent constitutional scholars, historians, and thinkers in the area of philosophy, jurisprudence, political science, and social science.
- PHASE II: Blackstone interns complete a six-week legal internship customized to advance their career objectives. Internships occur at a wide variety of organizations, including governmental entities, law firms, NGOs and nonprofits, among others.
- PHASE III: Blackstone interns return for a final week of seminars and training focused on career development and cultural engagement with accomplished faculty, including partners from prestigious law firms, high-ranking public officials, academics, and former judicial law clerks.
Thanks to God’s provision and our generous Ministry Friends, Blackstone is working. Next week, we’ll be sharing with you a story about one of these Blackstone graduates and how the program has helped give him the tools he needed to stand up for faith and freedom. |
