FCC ACCEPTING LAW STUDENT APPLICATIONS IN THE FALL
FOR THE 2008 ATTORNEY HONORS PROGRAM
Washington, D.C. - The Federal Communications Commission today announced that it 
will again accept applications from graduating law students in the fall for its Attorney Honors 
Program, to better accommodate law students who participate in the traditional fall interview 
process.  As in previous years, the FCC will also seek applications from recent law graduates and 
graduating students in the spring.  
Through the Attorney Honors Program, the FCC recruits new and recent law school 
graduates to the FCC and the field of communications.  The FCC encourages law students with 
superior academic credentials and an interest in communications law to apply for the 2008 class.  
Applications submitted during the fall application window must be received by October 18, 
2007; incomplete applications will not be considered.  All Attorney Honors Program participants 
will be located at the FCC’s headquarters in Washington, DC.  
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, resume, writing sample, official law 
school transcript, and list of references to honorsprogram@fcc.gov, to the attention of Kim 
Mattos, Office of General Counsel, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street S.W., 
Washington, DC 20554.  Eligibility criteria and other pertinent information are available on the 
FCC’s Attorney Honors Program webpage at http://www.fcc.gov/attorneyhonorsprogram.
Selection for participation in the Attorney Honors Program is highly competitive.  
Selection criteria include: academic achievement; writing skills; law review and/or moot court 
experience; clinic or extracurricular activities; and demonstrated interest in government service 
and/or the communications industry.
Attorneys at the FCC work on cutting-edge issues in the communications and high-tech 
arenas, including those affecting the digital television transition, public safety and homeland 
security.  They also review mergers and acquisitions of Fortune 500 companies, promote the 
deployment of broadband technologies, promote access to communications services for
