Hundreds of students turned out for USC Law's second annual Public Interest Career Fair, co-sponsored by the Career Services Office and the Public Interest Law Foundation, held Nov. 14 in Crocker Plaza. About 30 agencies from the Los Angeles area were represented at the event, offering students information about their services and opportunities for pro bono work, internships, or full-time employment.
The fair was organized to allow students to talk one-on-one with the agencies' representatives. Among the groups on the USC Law campus were the Anti-Defamation League, the National Senior Citizens Law Center, Disbility Rights Legal Center, the Office of the Federal Public Defender, Protection and Advocacy, Bet Tzedek, and the HIV & AIDS Legal Services Alliance. Student groups PILF and Legal Aid Alternative Breaks were also represented. (Pictured above: USC Law grad Diane Trunk '92 of Neighborhood Legal Services speaks with students.)
Before she became a professor at USC Gould School of Law, Bernadette Atuahene published groundbreaking research, exposing racialized property tax inequity in Detroit.
