CAREERS
Public Service Career Support
In addition to offering specialized advice and counseling, the director of public service career planning assists students in obtaining both internships and post-graduate positions in public service, including through a variety of on-campus interviews and job fairs. In particular, each year, the director manages Hofstra Law’s participation in the New York University Public Interest Legal Career Fair, through which over 250 employers meet with students both to conduct interviews and informal informational conversations.
Additionally, the director provides extensive support to students seeking judicial internships and clerkships.
The Office of Public Justice Programs works closely with the Office of Career Services. Need more information about our Public Justice Programs? Contact Franca Sachs at Franca.Sachs@hofstra.edu or Jennifer Gundlach at jennifer.gundlach@hofstra.edu.
