Seven University law students spent their sum mer months gaining practical experience in public interest law. The Oregon Law Student Pub lic Interest Fund sponsored the students’ stints as public inter est law clerks in non-profit orga nizations throughout Oregon and around the nation. “Our main mission is to raise funds to put students in public law positions,” OLSPIF Director Stephanie Kurteff said. “It’s easy to fall into the trap of going to big-name recruiters willing to pay big money. This is a great way for students to serve com munities and gain practical experience. It’s easy to forget about public interest law.” In order to make sure law stu dents don’t forget about legal work that is not firm-oriented, OLSPIF dances, bike-a-thons and auctions raised about $15,000. That money was put aside to pay for stipends for the summer position stipends. “Many non-profit groups aren’t able to pay students, so this fund increases options for students interested in public interest positions,” Kurteff said. “We try to raise student con sciousness a little and help by providing a stipend over the summer. It’s also a service to the community by providing posi tions in a non-profit organiza tion that otherwise couldn’t pay.” The students who participat fifi It was fabulous. It gave me the career opportunity possibilities in the same organization. And working in environmental law was great practical experience because that’s what I want to do in the future. — Suzanne McCormick -33 ed in the summer program had to find their own job placements and plan their own projects. Upon their selection, OLSPIF allocated the stipend. Suzanne McCormick worked on an environmental law project in Georgetown, South Carolina. She said her work in the preser vation of South Carolina’s nat ural resources and environment provided excellent experience. “It was fabulous,” she said. “It gave me the career opportunity possibilities in the same organi zation. And working in environ mental law was great practical experience because that’s what I want to do in the future.” The seven students had to go through an application process during spring term in order to be selected for the summer stipends. The application process is open to anyone in the law school, Kurteff said. Names were removed from the essays and applications were submitted in order to keep the selection process fair, Kurt eff said. “We wanted the selection to be based on the project,” she said. “This is a small law school, and we’re trying to stay away from the political side of what can happen in this kind of environment.” i Community Center tor the Performing Arts wowpm^Ell ■ Friday, August 23 ■ let’s Go Bowling Suckerpunch, Engine 54 ■ Saturday, August 24 m The Scandals, Conkrit, Kromlin, Hive and Heresy ■ Sunday, August 25 ■ The Farrago London Slam Team and Hie Power lack ■ Tuesday, August 27 ■ Boom Shaka i,word ■ Thursday, August 29 ■ Goodness, I The American Girls, Jodi Watts ■ Friday, August 30 ■ I Floater ■ Saturday, August 31 ■ Zero Rock Density, 1 Head dianoe, Bit Hippy, Viylantes, Netaria | ■ Tuesday, Sept. 3 ■ PoiDoj Pondering ■ Thursday, Sept. 5 ■ Cherry Poppin’ Daddies All Ages Welcome 687-2746 tell your faraway family and friends to read the Oregon daily emerald now available on the world wide web http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~ode
