Description

The Howard T. Markey Memorial Scholarship honors the memory of Howard T. Markey, the first Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Like the other Fund scholarships, this scholarship seeks out law students demonstrating academic promise, economic need, and an interest in the subject matter of the Federal Circuit's legal community. The Howard T. Markey scholarship also emphasizes a commitment to public service as a remembrance of Howard T. Markey's unique contribution of values driven by a lifetime committed to the public. Students must be pursuing a juris doctor degree; enrolling for the upcoming academic year in any law school accredited by the American Bar Association; and show a demonstrable interest in one of the many topics that lie within the procedure, substance, or scope of the jurisdiction of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Students with interests solely in such areas as family, public interest, bankruptcy, or criminal law, for example, need not apply. Students pursuing advanced degrees (e.g., LL.M.) need not apply. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Federal Circuit Bar Association for more information.
