TWO New Government Careers Resources on PSJD!
2 New Resources
in the Government Careers Section of PSJD’s Resource Center!
The 2014-2015 Federal Legal Employment Opportunities Guide (FLEOG) is now available for download on PSJD! FLEOG offers a broad-based review of different career opportunities and paths to employment for law students and graduates who are interested in federal legal careers. A big thank you to our Publications Coordinator, John Bain, for all his hard work on this very valuable resource.
The 2014 Public Defender Handbook is now available. This publication is ideal for students looking for public defender internships and postgraduate jobs. The Handbook is divided into three main sections, (1) Frequently Asked Questions about public defender careers (2) a listing and brief descriptions of the major public defender offices that regularly hire post-graduate attorneys and (3) a listing of capital defense offices that hire entry-level attorney. The Handbook also includes an appendix with very specific examples of hypothetical interview questions and interviews with leaders at public defender agencies.
Thanks to our friends at NYU, and especially Rachel Peckerman, Esq., Associate Director, Public Interest Law Center, NYU School of Law. for sharing the Defender Handbook.
