Through this fellowship, named in
memory of the late Professor Lewis
D. Asper, students may earn credits
for supervised law-related work
with state and federal government
lawyers and judges and with a
limited number of other approved
placements.
As a general rule students are
limited to a single two-credit Asper
during their law school careers.
However, students clerking for federal
judges and state appellate
judges may earn two credits per semester
for two semesters or three
credits for one semester. To earn
two credits, students are expected
to devote 10 hours per week during
the semester (or 20 hours per week
during the summer session) to
their Asper placement. A threecredit
Asper requires 16 to 20
hours per week (or 32 to 40 hours
during the summer). All work is
on a pass/fail basis.
Student placements have included
but are not limited to: U.S.
District Court, Maryland Court of
Appeals, Supreme Bench of Baltimore
City, Federal Public Defender's
Office, State Public Defender's
Office, U.S. Attorney's
Office, Maryland Attorney General's
Office, Baltimore City State's
Attorney's Office, Department of

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
Students interested in an Asper

supervisor to arrange a placement
before registering for the program.
