<p>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.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>"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."<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Christopher K. Odinet, 2014–2016 Fellow</span></em><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>"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."<br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">JP Lee, 2014–2016 Fellow</span></em><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>"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."<br>
