We apologize for this temporary inconvenience. Please email Dean Kaufman with any questions.

Three WCL students were named to Equal Justice Works' 2008 Summer Corps Program, which rewards select law students upon completion of atleast 300 hours of summer service at a nonprofit public interest organization. The recipients and their areas of work include: Shiwali Patel ('10), Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, prisoners' rights; Erin Pulice ('10), Legal Aid Society of DC, domestic violence; and Sarah Purce ('09), Northwest Justice Project, general legal services.

Typically, 7-11% of WCL graduates accept postgraduate public interest employment, far higher than the national average of 3%. For more information on the Office and the PIPS Scholarship, click here.
