weeks, from May 28 through August 2, 2019. Interns work full-time and 
are supervised by attorneys in specific program areas. Depending on what 
work needs to be done in each of the program areas, interns will work on 
litigation, legal and policy advocacy, community outreach and education, 
or client intakes; each program area differs in emphasis. Summer interns 
attend weekly brown bag lectures on a range of public interest legal
