"I’m grateful to everyone at PLS for such a transformative summer. This internship was my first advocacy experience, and I'm thankful to the supervising attorneys and staff who were wonderful teachers."

Ultimately, this summer was a great experience. Legal Aid [of North Carolina] is an organization that helps people navigate a complicated system when they are at their most vulnerable, and my internship really helped me learn what kind of difference legal services can make. Further, I was able to grow my skills by performing meaningful and substantive work. I could not have imagined a higher-quality internship for my 1L summer.

This fellowship has enabled me to work alongside attorneys who contribute to equal justice for all every day by helping clients escape eviction, obtain domestic violence orders of protection, and access veteran benefits. They recognize that systemic racism permeates not only our criminal justice system but also the most basic necessities like housing and employment. Their palpable passion and tireless commitment demonstrate the type of attorney I hope to become.
