DescExternal Affairs: In the fall of 2006, The Federalist Society launched the State Courts Project, now known as External Affairs. This initiative is designed to spark robust public debate about the role of the state supreme courts as well as to motivate opinion leaders, the press, and the general public to be more informed about and interested in issues of judicial selection. The State Courts Project has expanded substantially since its launch, and The Federalist Society is now creating unprecedented levels of thoughtful public debate about the role of the state supreme courts.Desc

PART X, LINE 2 - FIN 48 FOOTNOTE:Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management of an organization evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and disclose a tax liability if it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the Society's tax positions and has concluded that as of September 30, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require disclosure in the financial statements. The Society is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress for any tax periods.

Form And Line ReferencePART I, LINE 2 - Organization's procedures for monitoring use of grant:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationOlin/Searle Fellows are subject to a process of constructive monitoring which begins at the start of their fellowship and continues after, as they embark upon the academic job market. We enlist faculty at their host law schools (members of the fellowship selection committee where possible) to keep track of their scholarly projects as they progress, offering helpful feedback and giving us their views of the progress made. We also touch base with them periodically ourselves to discuss their topics and progress. We also, where possible, ask our Fellows to attend a workshop toward the beginning and toward the end of their tenure, at which they discuss potential article topics and rehearse the job talks they plan to give on the basis of their fellowship projects before a number of professors and members of our staff. After the fellowship is over we keep track of all of our former fellows, providing assistance and encouragement on the academic job market. We prepare an annual report on their status. Each Searle Young Legal Scholar Fellows is assigned a mentor from among the senior professors who comprise the Searle selection committee, who review drafts of the papers they are working on and provide feedback.ExplanationTxt
