WASHINGTON, October 17, 2018 – The Federal Communications Commission announced today that it will extend its deadline for accepting applications from graduating law students and current judicial clerks for its Fall 2019 Attorney Honors Program by two weeks.  To accommodate all qualified candidates directly or indirectly affected by Hurricanes Florence and Michael, the Commission will keep the application window open until 11:59 pm on October 31, 2018.  This short extension should provide those affected by these tragic events additional time to submit their application materials.
