IJ, one of the top libertarian public interest law firms in the country, writes:
Greetings from the Institute for Justice!
Because of the economic crisis, many law firms are asking their incoming first year associates to defer their start dates (only a couple months while others are a full year) and are offering stipends to these deferred associates, especially if they work at public interest organizations during their deferment.
The Institute for Justice is encouraging third year law students facing firm deferrals to apply to work at the Institute for Justice this fall. IJ is currently accepting applications and interested students should email a cover letter, resume and writing sample along with any specific details of their deferment (such as timing, if they are being offered a stipend, etc.) to me at [email protected]….
Founded in 1991, the Institute for Justice engages in cutting-edge constitutional litigation and advocacy, both in the courts of law and in the court of public opinion, on behalf of individuals whose most basic rights are denied by the government—like the right to earn an honest living, private property rights, the right to free speech and educational choice.
