The programs will be held every Thursday during the lunch hour, beginning on June 1 and continuing through July 27, at the Bar Association offices at 11th and Market Streets in Philadelphia. These events are a great way to get an overview of public interest law, connect with public interest practitioners and meet other law students who are interested in the work.

If your employer doesn’t know about this – don’t hesitate to let them know you would like to attend. Summer employers are generally very supportive of law students participating in these type of professional development events!
