Participate and or conduct interviews

Observe Depositions

Work on various aspects of family, housing, consumer, employment & Social

Security cases

The law students selected for our program possess excellent records at both the undergraduate and law school levels, along with an accompanying history of significant contributions in professional, community, charitable or other worthwhile pursuits. Other factors, such as community involvement, civic activities, public interest experience, law review or journal membership, moot court or mock trial participation, and other significant extracurricular activities are viewed favorably.

We also welcome students from foreign universities as well as certain graduate programs as well.
