Law students took advantage of the chance to talk about the critically needed work being performed in each clinic and program. During the fair, Miami scholar Tricia Robinson shared her experience in Namibia with students who hope to create their own fellowships this summer. Additionally, HOPE fellow Sam Leroy spoke about his time at the Guardian Ad Litem program last summer.
First-year student Caitlin Wilcox attended the fair to see what summer opportunities might be available. "I'm interested in externships and I wanted to know when I should apply," she said.
Brendan Corrigan, another 1L student, was especially pleased to see all the programs and clinics together in one place. "I came to garner information, specifically for opportunities this summer," he said. "It's nice to have this compilation of information."
"Miami Law is home to exceptional clinics and unique programs in the public interest," said Marni B. Lennon, Assistant Dean for Public Interest and Pro Bono. "From client intake to research and writing, hearings and trials, Miami law students are engaged in top notch advocacy."
In the HOPE program, for instance, Lennon said "students have the opportunity to translate their passion for advocacy into action across the globe."
