 AUSTIN  C.  SCHLICK  NAMED  DEPUTY  GENERAL  COUNSEL  OF  THE  FEDERAL  COMMUNICATIONS  COMMISSION 
 Washington,  DC  –  John  Rogovin,  General  Counsel  of  the  Federal  Communications  Commission,  has  announced  that  Austin  C.  Schlick  has  been  named  Deputy  General  Counsel  in 
 the  Commission’s  Office  of  General  Counsel. 
 In  his  new  position,  Schlick  will  oversee  matters  before  the  Office  of  General  Counsel’s  Litigation  Division. 


 “We  are  extremely  fortunate  to  have  Austin  join  us,”  said  Rogovin.  “He  has  a  very  strong  background  in  both  telecommunications  and  appellate  litigation." 
 Most  recently,  Schlick  served  as  an  assistant  in  the  Solicitor  General’s  office  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Justice.  In  that  position  he  represented  the  government  in  various  cases  before  the 
 Supreme  Court.  Prior  to  that  position,  he  was  a  partner  with  the  law  firm  of  Kellogg,  Huber,  Hansen,  Todd  and  Evans. 


 Schlick  was  also  an  associate  at  the  law  firm  of  Klein,  Farr,  Smith  and  Taranto.  Prior  to  that,  he  served  as  a  law  clerk  for  U.  S.  Supreme  Court  Justice  Sandra  Day  O’Connor  and  a  law 
 clerk  for  Chief  Judge  Abner  Mikva  of  the  U.  S.  Court  of  Appeals  for  the  District  of  Columbia  Circuit.  Schlick  began  his  career  as  a  legislative  assistant  to  U.  S.  Senator  John  C.  Danforth. 


 He  holds  a  J.  D.  from  Yale  Law  School,  where  he  served  as  senior  editor  of  the  Yale  Law  Journal,  and  an  A.  B.  magna  cum  laude  from  Princeton  University.  Schlick  is  a  member  of  the 
 District  of  Columbia  and  Pennsylvania  Bars.
