FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Tyler Mlakar, a third-year law student, was selected as one of 25 undergraduate students from across the country to attend the Columbus School of Law’s Opinion-Writing Conference, February 24-26, 2022, DC
During the conference, attendees will receive opinion-writing instructions from some of the most distinguished members of the country’s judiciary. You will also be guided through an appellate court opinion drafting and receiving individual review and commentary on your work from faculty at the Columbus School of Law, any judge or former judicial officer. Finally, each participant is eligible for the $ 500 Columbus School of Law Prize in Judicial Clerkship Opinion Writing.
The Columbus School of Law will fund travel and accommodation for all conference attendees.
“Learning the art of opinion-writing directly from a prestigious panel of federal and district judges from across the country – at the heart of our nation’s legal system – is a privilege that few receive, and I feel honored and humiliated,” said Mlakar . “I look forward to representing the University of Arkansas School of Law. Wooo Pig!”
Mlakar believes the skills he will learn will be critical to his success as the Honorable Judge Bobby Shepherd’s Clerk of the 8th District Court of Appeals in El Dorado for the 2022-2023 term.
the Law school offers a competitive JD as well as an advanced LL.M. Program taught by state-approved lecturers. The school offers unique opportunities for students to participate in pro bono work, internships, live client clinics, competitions, and food and farming initiatives. The school seeks to identify, discuss, and question issues of race, color, ethnicity, and their impact on students, teachers, and staff in order to achieve a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community. From the admission of the Six Pioneers, who became the first African American students to attend law school in the South without a court order, to the governors, judges, prosecutors, and faculties who later became President of the United States and Secretary of State, the law school has a rich history and culture.
