FELLOWSHIPS


Since our founding in 1986, a key part of MMTC’s mission has been training attorneys, law students, and pre-law undergraduate students in the practice of communications law, particularly in the representation of clients before the Federal Communications Commission.

In MMTC’s public interest and civil rights law practice, we represent 62 national organizations in selected proceedings before the FCC, the federal courts of appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court. Our clients have included essentially all of the traditional civil rights organizations (including the NAACP, National Urban League, LULAC, NCLR and the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition), professional and trade organizations such as the National Association of Black Telecommunications Professionals and the Independent Spanish Broadcasters Association, religious organizations (the National Council of Churches and the Office of Communication of the United Church of Christ, Inc.), unions (AFTRA and CWA) and many other organizations interested in fostering diversity and equal opportunity and in closing the digital divide.

Through our legal training program, the Earle K. Moore Fellowships, we have trained 47 communications lawyers and law students. The program is named after the late Earle K. Moore, the pioneering communications lawyer who represented the United Church of Christ in the groundbreaking cases in the 1960s and 1970s that brought about the desegregation of broadcasting. In 2006, we created the John W. Jones Fellowships, named after the late John W. Jones, who was the General Counsel of Radio One and who devoted much of his career to advancing the cause of minority media entrepreneurship.
