Request for Proposals -- ACTEC Foundation 2025-2026 Academic Symposium

The Legal Education Committee of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) requests proposals for a $20,000 grant to host an academic symposium on trust and estate law during the 2025-2026 academic year.

The ACTEC Foundation Symposium is intended to be the premier academic symposium on trust and estate law in the United States. The goals of the symposium are to stimulate development of scholarly work in trust and estate law, bridge the gap between the academic community and practitioners, provide opportunities for junior academics to present papers and interact with more senior academics, provide an opportunity for trust and estate professors to interact with each other, involve academics from other disciplines in discussions of trust and estate topics, and strengthen ACTEC's image as the leading organization for trust and estate lawyers, both practitioners and academics.

RFPs are due by Thursday, August 1, 2024, and will be considered by the Symposium Subcommittee of the ACTEC Legal Education Committee during or around ACTEC's Fall Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, in September 2024.
