Dear Fellows:

I am pleased to report that we are on track for another impressive fundraising year. Thank you so much for your continued generous support of The Fellows.  If you have not yet made your annual contribution, you may do so by accessing The Fellows Online Giving website.  Please feel free to contact The Fellows office at (800) 292-5065 or [email protected] for assistance.

In this summer issue of Fellows News we've highlighted some of the outstanding accomplishments of the ABF Research Faculty.  For example, Dr. John Hagan recently received the 2012 Harry J. Klaven, Jr. Prize awarded by the Law and Society Association.  Dr. Hagan will present his research on mass incarceration at The Fellows CLE Research Seminar during the ABA Annual Meeting.  This event will be free to Fellows registered with the ABA, and we hope you will join us.

We are looking forward to a fantastic week of events this August.  By now you should have received your registration brochure in the mail, but our full schedule of events can be found below and on our website.  Please feel free to contact The Fellows staff with any questions you may have pertaining to our events.  I hope to see you all there.

As always, I hope you enjoy this issue of Fellows News, the last one during my year as Chair.  I appreciate all of your contributions this year.   Please continue to send your comments and suggestions to [email protected].  We'd love to hear from you.

Best Regards,
