Success Story

Rebecca Press, a third year law student at New York University School of Law, learned of PSLawNet through the Public Interest Law Center (PILC) at NYU.  “PSLawNet absolutely helped me find my job for my 2L summer.  It was the only site on which the posting was placed so, without it, I wouldn’t have known the job was even advertised or when the deadline to apply was.”  Rebecca landed her summer internship with the Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review housed at the New York City Immigration Court, where she served as a Judicial Law Clerk for multiple judges.  “The internship was really fantastic.  I learned so much about immigration law and really got to develop my writing and research skills.  It was wonderful.”
