MBF announces 2012 Legal Intern Fellowship Award recipients
The MBF Trustees proudly announce the award recipients of the
2012 MBF Legal Intern Fellowship Program (LIFP). This year,
the program will provide three exemplary law students with a
stipend of $6,000 each for a full-time, summer internship at a
Massachusetts organization providing civil legal services to the
poor.
The MBF's Legal Intern Fellowship Program has two concurrent
goals: to give talented students the experience and encouragement
they need to pursue careers in the public interest law sector and
to provide legal aid organizations with much-needed additional
staff capacity for the summer. These awards are supported by
generous contributions to the MBF from lawyers and judges
statewide.
This year's award recipients are:
Julia Hall
Boston University School of Law
AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts: Legal Services to HIV+ and
At-Risk Communities
(Supported by the MBF Fellows Fund)
Rachel Smit
Boston University School of Law
Greater Boston Legal Services: Employment Law Unit
