Summer law interns aid

■ INTERNSHIPS: The
Oregon Law Student Public
Interest Fund sponsored the
students’ work as public
interest law clerks
By Kristin Bailey
Associate Editor
Believe it or not, not everyone
spent their summer poolside or
at the beach. 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

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.

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.”
