[blindLaw] FCC TO ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FOR FALL 2021 HONORS PROGRAM

[Will]

The Federal Communications Commission has announced that its attorney
honors program is now open and I wanted to encourage interested candidates
to consider applying.  The Fall 2021 application window runs for July 13 to
September 14, 2020.  This program is usually geared to recent graduates of
law school, or 3Ls.

The FCC's Attorney Honors Program is a two-year employment and training
program designed to introduce selected candidates to the field of
communications law and policy. Honors Attorneys quickly gain valuable
experience and benefit from a wide variety of learning experiences.
Attorneys at the FCC draft decisions in adjudicatory and rulemaking
matters, work with internal and external constituencies to resolve complex
policy issues before the agency, participate in international negotiations,
represent the FCC in dealings with other government agencies, Congress and
the private sector, and defend FCC decisions in the federal courts.
Additionally, Honors Attorneys benefit from a specialized training and
career-development curriculum designed specifically for the program.
