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 23 & 24, 2025. 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.

Reminder! 3Ls have the option of submitting a letter of intent for the Public Service Venture Fund (PSVF) Seed Grant to express interest and get feedback before the application process. Submit letters to OPIA's Fellowship Coordinator by November 27 at 5:00 pm.
