The 28th Annual Northern California Public Interest/Public Sector Legal Careers Day will be held February, 2012. Public Interest/Public Sector Day is a terrific way for students to meet with a large number of public interest and government organizations and agencies in one place and at one time. It is an annual event sponsored each February by nine Northern California law schools and the Public Interest Clearinghouse. The general public is also invited to PI/PS Day, although only students of sponsoring schools may participate in formal interviews. Some organizations conduct formal interviews, but most contacts are made on a more informal basis, as explained below. PI/PS Day has two components:- Formal Interviews: Organizations conduct formal, pre-screened interviews for paid, work-study or volunteer positions. Information about participating organizations becomes available online generally in December of each year. There is a link to this information on the Public Interest Clearinghouse website. Applications are submitted online.
- Meet the Advocates: Attorneys from various organizations and agencies are seated at individual tables, and students circulate and speak with them informally. Students do not need to make any advance arrangements with individual organizations for these sessions. Plan to take full advantage of this excellent opportunity to learn about the work done by a large number of different organizations and to explore various possible opportunities with these groups. Many students obtain part-time and summer positions from Meet the Advocates.
