Dear RPPTL Members:

The Real Property Probate & Trust Law Section Fellowship Program is now accepting applications for its 2022-2024 Fellows Class.

The mission of the RPPTL Fellowship Program is to promote attorneys from diverse backgrounds, historically underrepresented in the law and in the RPPTL Section, to become substantially involved in the RPPTL Section work, receive leadership training and work closely with leading attorneys in their field, while fostering diversity within the Section.

The two-year term Fellowship is open to all lawyers who are members of the RPPTL Section and who have been admitted to the Bar for fewer than 12 years. Scholarships to defray expenses of attending Section meetings will be considered for applicants who best meet the following criteria:

• Demonstrated interest in wills, trusts, estates, and/or real estate as a substantial part of the applicant’s practice;
• Demonstrated interest in the activities of the RPPTL Section and commitment in continued involvement;
• Diversity, including a geographic, racial or ethnic background that is historically underrepresented in the RPPTL Section and Executive Council;
• Demonstrated need for financial assistance in order to attend Section meetings;
• Service to the profession or community.

See the RPPTL.org, Fellows Committee page, for more details regarding the program.

The Application Deadline is May 27, 2022. The application is available here and can be submitted to: DKellogg@floridabar.org
