The Public Interest externship, one of nine externships at the Quinnipiac University School of Law, is packed with possibilities. Interested in elder law, disabilities or housing law? How about labor or constitutional law, consumer or health law, tax, family or employment law? It’s all here.

You’ll work with lawyers in nonprofit advocacy organizations, private firms that make significant pro bono commitments, state agencies and other public interest organizations.

You may perform such duties as:

• interview clients and/or witnesses
• appear in administrative or judicial proceedings
• perform legal research and analysis
• draft motions, memoranda, briefs, correspondence, even administrative decisions
• assist with depositions
• attend public hearings and board meetings
• assist in arbitrations

And perhaps most importantly, you’ll learn why public service is among the core values of the legal profession.
