Time: 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Location: Vanderbilt Hall, Tishman Auditorium
Attend this session with the Public Interest Law Center (PILC) for an introduction to public interest careers and to learn about PILC’s Summer Funding Program, which guarantees financial support to any 1L and 2L with a public interest, government or judicial summer internship. You will also be able to meet PILC’s counselors and pick up a copy of the new edition of the 1L Job Search Handbook. Topics will include an overview of some of the different areas of public interest law and practice settings, as well as advice on how to begin looking for a summer internship and what PILC can do to help! We encourage all 1Ls to attend even if you are not sure whether you will work in the public sector; typically more than two-thirds of the 1L class participates in PILC’s Summer Funding Program, including many who plan to go into the private sector during their 2L summer.
