Deborah T. Poritz Summer Public Interest Legal Fellowship

Deborah T. Poritz Summer Public Interest Legal Fellowship
Legal Services of New Jersey (LSNJ) expects to sponsor once again a paid intern program during the summer of 2011, awarding summer intern fellowships in New Jersey public interest legal organizations to rising 2nd and 3rd year law students. The purpose of this program is to promote awareness of and commitment to careers in public interest law by offering rewarding employment opportunities to law students. In past years, students have been employed in Legal Services programs as well as other public interest entities, such as the Association for Children of New Jersey, the American Friends Service Committee, Community Health Law Project, and Jersey Battered Women's Service.
