PUBLIC INTEREST EMPLOYERS

Penn Law attracts many students committed to practicing law in the public interest. Our renowned Toll Public Interest Center exposes all of our students to practice in a public sector setting. As a requirement for graduation, each student at Penn Law provides 35 hours of pro bono work in both second and third years of law school - and many exceed this requirement. Please visit the Toll Public Interest Center area of our site to learn more about this unique award-winning program.

Public sector employers participate in all of Penn's recruiting programs and have their fees waived. Recruiters can interview candidates at the

• On Campus and Off Campus Recruiting Program held in the fall and spring
• The Four-In-One program
• The Public Interest/Public Service Job Fair, held each February in Philadelphia.

Visit our employer recruiting page for more information about these programs.

Employers can interview 1L students for summer volunteer positions, 2L students for internships and other summer opportunities, and 3L students for permanent positions or fellowship opportunities.

Each year, Penn Law students are recipients of some of the nation's most prestigious post-graduate fellowships including the Bristow Fellowship, the Skadden Fellowship, the Independence Foundation Fellowship, the Equal Justice Works Fellowship, and others. We welcome employer inquiries about projects that might be funded through these fellowships.

Penn Law students also work together through the Equal Justice Foundation to raise money each year for fellow students working in summer positions in the public sector. If you can benefit from the skills of a Penn Law student who might bring some funding to support their work, please be in touch. For more information, call 215.898.3086
