Public Interest 1L Job
How hard is it to get one if you have absolutely no public interest stuff on your resume? No volunteer work etc.

Re: Public Interest 1L Job
Depends on what you consider public interest. I got 2 offers from disability advocacy orgs because I had studied and researched developmental disabilities as a psych major in undergrad. You need something pointing to why you're applying, but it doesn't have to be traditional volunteering.

Re: Public Interest 1L Job
For a 1L job, you don't really need any experience. Just be able to articulate in a cover letter why you want to do it.
