We are proud of our students' commitment to public interest and government service and our array of summer public service fellowships. During summer 2007, students benefited from 92 fellowships, working for civil rights organizations, legal aid societies, prosecutors, public defenders, government agencies, and advocacy groups. Issue areas included:

• AIDS/HIV alternative dispute resolution children's rights child support enforcement
• consumer protection
• domestic violence education employment discrimination environmental protection health policy housing and homelessness human rights international relations
• judicial reform/prison reform
• protection of whistleblowers rights of the disabled transportation
• victim/witness services

In addition to assisting organizations and clients literally from coast to coast, fellowship recipients have spanned the globe, serving employers in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and South America.

As a result of our aggressive outreach to nonprofit and public sector employers and our membership in PSLawNet and Equal Justice Works, job listings with government and public interest groups are plentiful. With assistance from OCS, William & Mary law students have been particularly successful landing postgraduate Presidential Management Fellowships. OCS coordinates student participation in two public service job fairs.
