Where Is Your Counselor This Week?

The CSD Counselor responsible for maintaining the Government & Public Interest Blog is taking time this week to meet with recruiters from the federal government as part of the Southeastern Federal Recruiter Conference. As the Blog highlights all the time, the federal government is a wondeful avenue for new attorneys and is an employer who is actually hiring!

What Is Government & Public Interest Work?

In 2008, approximately 33% of Florida Coastal's graduating class entered into a government or public interest position. The broad categories of public interest and government encompass a large spectrum of positions on the local, city, state, and national arenas. Positions can range from work in a public defender's office, the ACLU, or Earthjustice to opportunities at the U.S. Attorney's Office, the National Women's Law Center, or the World Organization for Human Rights. The career possibilities within the government or public interest entity are endless and should be considered by anyone looking for meaningful work and the opportunity to make a difference.
