Frank H. Marks Intellectual Property Fellowship

The Marks Fellowship is designed to assist attorneys who are interested in pursuing a full-time legal academic career in some area of intellectual property law. In the past, Marks Fellows have joined GW Law from judicial clerkships as well as from private practice and other legal positions. We plan to accept applications for the next Marks Fellow, for the term of August 2026 to July 2028, in the fall of 2025.
