If you are planning to work in the private sector during your 2L summer but are still exploring public interest career options, splitting your summer between a private firm and a public interest organization is a great way to continue to build your public interest track record. Alternatively, if you know you want to work in the public interest, but are unsure about the practice setting or issue areas that interest you most, splitting between two public interest organizations can be an important way to determine the right fit. If you are thinking about splitting your summer, be sure to make an appointment to talk with an OPIA adviser.
