Public Service Employment

A Real World “Path to Practice”

While not a direct component of the Access to Justice Project, central to the Public Interest Law Center’s mission is helping our students and graduates obtain and thrive in public service law positions – and public service employment and internships continue to be a source of success and pride at Haub Law. In recent years, approximately 40% of Haub Law graduates have entered careers in the public sector (government, non-profit, clerkships, etc. - an effort led by the Public Interest Law Center (PILC) in close collaboration with the Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD).

These innovative academic experiences and programs, combined with practical training through our partnerships with Westchester County courts, the New York State Judicial Institute and other community partners, will lay the groundwork for students to make a real impact in racial and social justice reform. By building out and working to formalize our Pace A2J pro bono and related collaborations, we are increasing opportunities, experience and connections for our students and building the reputation of the law school and its community work and engagement on public service/access to justice and social and racial justice work.
