Our internship program gives students an opportunity to work in one of the busiest prosecutorial offices in the nation.

I believe they will have a rewarding experience with us this summer.” This summer’s group of interns come from 18 law schools and 11 colleges throughout the nation. The Office today welcomed 39 law school students and 16 undergraduate students; 36 are female and 19 are male. Among the interns, 32 of them speak a second language, with 18 of them being Spanish speakers.

The Justice Action Center The Justice Action Center brings together New York Law School faculty and students in an ongoing critical evaluation of public interest lawyering. Through scholar- ship and fieldwork, the Center seeks to evaluate the efficacy of law as an agent of change and social betterment. Through a focused curriculum, symposia, clinical experience, and research opportunities, the Center seeks to instill in students a deeper intellectual understanding of the law regardless of their final career goals, and to present opportunities to maintain their ties to the social justice community beyond law school. Recognizing that students will pursue varied careers, the Center aims to provide a framework for analyzing the pervasive questions and contradictions relating to social justice in American society, irrespective of the context in which they may arise.
