Public Interest and Service
Fordham Law is home to centers and institutes that pursue vitally important work to improve the lives of individuals, strengthen communities, and fight for justice worldwide.
Through our Externship Program, students earn academic credit as they work alongside lawyers or judges in a number of professional legal environments, and combine this work with academic reflection.
An array of loan repayment options, including loan repayment assistance programs, are available for graduates who pursue public interest careers.
The summer is an excellent time for students to immerse themselves in full-time public service work, and funding support is available.
