As you prepare for exams, don’t forget that OPIA has a jigsaw puzzle library! You are welcome to check out a puzzle (just sign it out in the checkout binder) and take it home for as long as you like.  Jigsaw puzzles have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety and increase focus, so grab a puzzle now! And if you just need a quick fix while on campus, come put a few pieces where they belong in the communal puzzle on OPIA’s conference table.

OPIA is thankful for all of our students and alumni! We wish you a warm and happy Thanksgiving. Our office will be closed from Wednesday, November 26, through Sunday, November 30.

Each year public interest and government employers take advantage of the opportunity to interview students from ABA-accredited Massachusetts law schools for summer and permanent positions through the Massachusetts Law School Consortium (MLSC) Job Fairs (the Fall & Winter Government/Public Interest Programs): one for the fall, and another for the winter. The interviews for the winter program will be conducted virtually on January 29 & 30, 2026. This program is open to ALL JD students (including 1Ls). Learn more about the program, including how to participate, by going to OPIA's MLSC webpage and follow the instructions on how to submit applications.

Please note that second-round applications for Summer 2026 Peggy Browning Fund Fellowships are now open. Offers will be extended on a rolling basis starting on Saturday, December 6, 2025.
