WHAT PUBLIC INTEREST LAWYERING LOOKS LIKE

There’s no one way to be a public interest lawyer, and our alumni do it all. From owning and working in firms of all sizes to leading nonprofits and powering government agencies, you’ll find them working for clients and issues across the globe. Casework and policy change, organizing and elected office, pro bono efforts and know your rights trainings—you use the law in service of human needs.

Law is a human experience, and your search for the people and places that will help you practice it should be, too. A professional network is both critical to your success and your capacity in the face of a lifetime of public service. Chances are, another grad has done it, been through it, or is itching to find another person who shares their vision.
