One honorarium of $1,500 will be awarded on a contractual basis to a

bibliographic essay in one or more areas of Women and the Law, for
publication and dissemination by the ABA to teachers and scholars
nationally. Applications should describe the proposed topics, formats
(e.g., organization, essays, annotations, etc.), and utility for
teachers as well as scholars. Applicants having demonstrated

syllabi, etc.), postmarked no later than March 31, 1995 per the

GUIDELINES:
Purpose:
To enhance undergraduate students' education about law, the legal
process, and law's role in society. The Commission promotes
integration of law with the liberal arts; we do not fund projects of a
pre-law, professional or para-legal nature.
Types of Projects:
No restrictions. Examples include: development of new courses or
enhancement of existing courses; campus symposia; faculty seminars;
student forums; experiential learning programs, etc. We encourage
projects that use interdisciplinary approaches, integrate legal themes
into general education, enhance global or multi-cultural perspectives,
promote active and cooperative learning strategies in the classroom,
and/or link the curriculum with campus life.
Amount of Awards:
Up to $1,500. Indirect costs will not be paid.
Grant Period:
July 1, 1995 - June 30, 1996
Eligibility:
Faculty members (full or part-time) and administrators, at accredited
2-year and 4-year colleges and universities. We encourage
applications from two or more faculty of different disciplines.
Application:
Submit a brief (maximum 3 pages) narrative proposal describing:
i. need for the project proposed;
ii. law-related themes/topics to be addressed;
iii. general plan and steps to implement the project;
iv. criteria for success, including how the project's benefits might
be extended to other campuses;
v. one page budget.
Include also a c.v. for the project director(s), as well as a cover
page identifying the institution, project director(s) and departmental
affiliation(s), title of project and a brief (100-word) abstract.

N. Fairbanks Ct., Chicago, IL 60611-3314, Attn: Anthony Star;

All proposals will be judged on:
i. enhancement of student understanding of law, the legal system,
and the role of law in society;
ii. the improved quality or innovativeness of approaches; and
iii. generalizability and utility to other campuses, departments, or
teaching settings.
Announcement of awards will be mailed about May 20, 1995.
