he ABA Legal Education Police Practices Consortium Fellowship is now accepting applications from students of Consortium-member law schools for its 2025 program.
The ABA Legal Education Police Practices Consortium (LEPPC) formed to contribute to the national effort to examine and address legal issues in policing and public safety, including conduct, oversight, and the evolving nature of police work. The Consortium leverages the ABA’s expertise in developing model police practices and that of participating ABA-accredited law schools to collaborate on projects to develop and implement better police practices throughout the United States.
The work of the fellowship enables students to contribute to the effort of advancing and addressing legal issues in policing and public safety. It provides students an opportunity to develop their research, writing, management and presentation skills through practical real world research. Students will focus on policing issues in their local community, while also contributing to the national conversation on policing.
The Fellowship Director will select up to 20 students to take part in the fellowship. From May 2025 through April 2026, Fellows will research a topic related to policing (to be determined in coordination with the Director) and connect with police and interest groups in their community.
