May Highlight – Post-Graduate Opportunity with JusticeCorps
Illinois JusticeCorps is a program dedicated to making courthouses more accessible for self-represented litigants who can’t afford legal representation. As an Illinois JusticeCorps fellow you get hands-on experience working in a courthouse and providing important assistance to people who need it. It’s an incredible learning opportunity for those who want to experience law in a practical way. Illinois JusticeCorps is looking for full-time fellows across several courthouses in Illinois. To learn more and apply, click here.
Looking for a summer opportunity? JusticeCorps in Champaign is looking for summer volunteers. If you are interested in learning more, please email prelaw@illinois.edu.
