What Is the Public Service Academy?
The TBA Public Service Academy is a training fellowship that provides attorneys with the tools to run for local political office. It takes place over the course of two sessions in the fall, during which fellows will hear expert speakers discuss topics like election strategy, campaign finance, balancing a law career while serving in public office and more. The TBA launched the program in 2018 and holds sessions every other year. The next Public Service Academy will be held in the fall of 2024.
