locations where Gates Scholars spent their summer internships. Each of
the members of the inaugural Scholar's Class of 2009 secured an
exciting public service law summer internship during the summer of
2007. The Scholars found themselves in locations all over the world
from Emily Alvarado⤁s placement at the Law Centre of Northern
Ireland in Belfast, Ireland as a William Sampson fellow to New York
City where Vanessa Torres Hernandez spent the summer at the NAACP
Legal Defense Fund.<br>

offers to the entire law school, university and broader community.
The Gates PSL Speaker Series introduces the law school community and
others outside the law school to information about the many ways
attorneys can serve the public good. The first speaker of the
2007-08 academic year was John Teton, the director of the
International Food Security Treaty Campaign. <a

></span>This year the Gates Public Service Law Program started a new
series of lunchtime seminars to bring law students and others who are
able to attend the opportunity to engage in conversation with local
practitioners about important issues in public service law practice.
Gates PSL-sponsored seminars in the fall quarter included: "So you
want to do public service: The law school survival guide" and
"Education and Integration: A Discussion about the Supreme Court's
Rulings in Seattle and Louisville." Both included panelists from the
community who are local advocates actively engaged in public interest
work. <a

></span>The public service advocacy community has risen to the
challenge to help the Gates PSL Program expose the law school
community to the many ways advocates can benefit the public good
through law. As the Gates PSL Program considered ways to bring more
information to the law school community, many law students expressed
the desire to know more about what practitioners in the community
really do to promote public service and equal justice. Thus the
creation of the "Public Service Voices" series on line.
"PS Voices" is a series of essays (and sometimes student-led
interviews) by people practicing law and doing significant public
service. The first essay entitled "The Gratitude-Driven Practice"
was authored by Jason Vail, an attorney at the Northwest Justice
Project in Washington and also a member of the Washington State Bar
Association Board of Governors. <a
