A Spate of Summer Hiring

by Leeor Neta
Assistant Director for Public Interest Programs

While many if not most students are already applying for fall 2013 positions, employers are still contacting LCS requesting student assistance this summer!

The private sector employers include two family law externship positions, a business law internship with a firm specializing in real estate, sports, media and entertainment; two law clerk positions with an IP firm in San Jose, and a paid summer internship with a corporate law firm in the East Bay. LCS has also received notice of several public interest positions with employers as diverse as the Volunteer Legal Services Program, Public Citizen, the Department of Homeland Security, the California Teachers’ Association, the Watsonville Law Center, and the San Francisco Mayor’s Office (a very new program under the tutelage of former San Francisco DA Paul Henderson). See LCSonline for details. Several other summer 2012 internship positions with public interest employers are listed on Golden Gate’s Public Interest Programs Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ggupi).

So there is no excuse for not getting an incredible work experience this summer! Please contact our office to meet with a counselor about any of these opportunities.
