thanks rhombot! I would love also to have a discussion over what is "public interest law" according to different faculty, students, schools... for example, it never occurred to me that being a prosecutor would be considered public interest until I was looking into LRAPs and some listed it as an example profession. When I first thought of public interest law, it seemed clear that it was for non-profits doing social justice work (from any side of the spectrum). Interesting to think not all people assumed that...
Anyway, I'm impressed by equal justice works. Are there other organizations similar to them?
