In addition to securing full-time summer clerkships, academic-year externships and post-bar/postgraduate clerkships offered by our public sector colleagues, Southwestern students collectively volunteered over 17,000 pro bono hours to the Greater Los Angeles Community in the last year alone through Southwestern’s Public Service Program.

With the range of opportunities that are possible working with public interest and public service agencies, we hope you will join us at Southwestern’s Public Interest and Public Service Employer Fair.
