Hello, interested public! It’s been an uneven few months, but I’m going to do my best to bring the Digest back as a regular feature each week–either on Friday or (as now) the following Monday. Over the past week, news related to student loan forgiveness and the public service loan forgiveness and reform continued to fall thick and fast, while in New York New York, Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a new city program he hopes will allow the city to harness junior attorneys from law firms as city employees without city salaries.

In other news, the PSJD Public Interest Mini-Conference is just a few weeks away! If you’re a public interest employer or a school counselor involved in public interest job search issues, consider joining our conversation!

Take care of one another,

Sam
