> The ABA Section of Real Property, Trust and Estate (RPTE) Law Fellows
> Program encourages active involvement and participation of young lawyers in
> Section activities. The goal of the program is to give young lawyers an
> opportunity to become involved in the substantive work of the RPTE Section,
> while developing into future leaders.
>
> What Our Fellows Say
>
> "My experience as a RPTE fellow has been tremendous. As a young law
> professor, the ability to frequently connect with leading practitioners in
> my field has been invaluable. The RPTE Section keeps me updated on current
> trends and best practices and provides numerous resources for my students.
> Through this fellowship I have been able to further ensure that when I'm
> teaching in the classroom I am connecting the theory of the law to the
> practical side of everyday lawyering."
> *Christopher K. Odinet, 2014–2016 Fellow*
>
> "The Fellows program has been a great way to advance my career. I have met
> and engaged in thoughtful discussions with leading practitioners
> nationwide, have polished my presentation and leadership skills, and have
> found ways to address issues in trust and estate law in platforms that I
> previously did not have access."
> *JP Lee, 2014–2016 Fellow*
>
> "I have had appointments through the ABA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) for
> the past three years, but as I prepare to age out of YLD, I wanted to find
> a home in the larger association. The RPTE Fellowship Program has given me
> that home. During and after the 2012 Fall Leadership Meeting, I reached out
> to several Section leaders in order to get more involved and hit the ground
> running- everyone has been very responsive to my requests to get involved.
> All in all, my experience so far with the RPTE Fellowship Program has been
> an amazing one, and I look forward to everything the Section has to offer
> in the years to come."
> *Keya Koul, 2012–2014 Fellow*
