  *   Cash prize of $10,000 to one recipient each year
  *   Transportation and lodging, in full, to the ACS National Convention in Washington to accept the Award in person

To be considered for the 2013 Award, applicants must:

  *   Have graduated from law school between May 2001 and May 2006;
  *   Have demonstrated a passionate commitment to public interest law throughout their career and be employed at a nonprofit organization, government entity, or law firm whose mission supports and furthers the causes for which David Carliner stood; namely, civil liberties, civil rights, international human rights and immigration, and
  *   Receive an annual salary of $110,000 or less

If you do not qualify for the Carliner Public Interest Award, but know someone who does, please encourage them to apply.

In determining the recipient of the 2013 Award, ACS will be advised by a panel of judges including:

  *   Nan Aron, Executive Director, Alliance for Justice
  *   William Fletcher, Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
  *   Wade Henderson, President and CEO, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights

The Award was established in memory of one of the great public interest lawyers of the 20th Century, David Carliner (1918-2007), a champion of justice in his native Washington, D.C. and on the national stage. A tireless, innovative litigator, he also played a leading role in building institutions devoted to protecting civil and human rights and combating injustice on a systemic basis. For more information on David Carliner and the Award click here<http://www.acslaw.org/carlinerpublicinterestaward?mgs1=95c6aaNEg7#News>.

Applicants will be evaluated on the extent to which their accomplishments exemplify David Carliner’s passionate commitment to one or more of the causes for which he worked: civil rights in a broad sense, civil liberties, international human rights and immigrants’ rights. Successful applicants will have pursued these causes with unwavering determination, creativity and effectiveness and be dedicated to working in the public interest throughout their careers.

Applicants whose work has focused on policy advocacy or litigation will be looked on with equal favor.

In keeping with the legacy of David Carliner, whose career was devoted to achieving a just and inclusive society for all, women, people of color, people with disabilities and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are encouraged to apply.
