The Equal Justice Works Conference & Career Fair is the largest national public interest career fair and an opportunity for students and recent graduates to participate in both pre-scheduled interviews and networking events with employers from across the country! Click here to learn more about the event and register today!

Students can apply for jobs now through September 14th. Nearly 150 employers have already posted over 175 unique jobs & internships with over 1400 openings!

In addition to interviewing and networking with employers, attendees will have the opportunity to have their resumes and cover letters reviewed; participate in mock interviews; and attend panels lead by experienced public interest attorneys on international and immigration careers, managing student debt, and how students can organize to fight injustice. We’re thrilled to announce that former Presidential nominee Ralph Nader will speak in one of our opening sessions and Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan will serve as our keynote speaker on Friday afternoon! Students can continue to register for conference sessions and “Table Talk” up to the day of the event.

Seeking legal interns for the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office – Delinquency Division. Applicants MUST have an an intern certificate (or be eligible to get one). The Delinquency Division prosecutes youth under 18 who are charged with a crime, traffic offense or truancy in Summit County. Our office is located at Juvenile Court (650 Dan Street). This is an unpaid internship, but we will work with youth who coordinate their hours for credit. Interns will assist with office help, case preparation, legal research and writing and will handle their own cases in court (from pretrial all the way through trial and disposition.) It’s a great opportunity for anyone interested in courtroom work, trial work, or criminal law generally. Interns will be supervised by division attorneys, and will be taught our practice from the ground up. Applicants must be able to work independently, with exceptional organization skills, and be able to work well with others. If anyone has questions, they should contact me directly via email. Applicants should send a resume and a letter outlining their availability (days/times during the week and the number of hours they want to work) to my attention: pasternak@prosecutor.summitoh.net. We hope to fill spots for 2 legal interns as soon as possible.

Note: This internship is eligible for the Public Interest Stipend. Contact Career Services for more info!
