Funded Summer Opportunity in Georgia

The Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia is now accepting applications for its inaugural Public Interest Internship Program ("PIIP"). The goal of PIIP is to provide law school students who are residents of the state of Georgia with summer employment opportunities in public interest, government and non-profit organizations across the state.

The YLD will award $5,000 living stipends to approximately 10 recipients who will have the option to work with one of several pre-selected public interest, governmental, and/or non-profit organizations around the state. The program runs from June to August 2010.

The deadline to submit the application materials is May 5, 2010. Applications can be submitted by fax, email or mail at the address below:
