Are you a 3L interested in public interest work? Do you have a project you’d like to get off the ground next year? If so, apply for funding from the Initiative for Public Interest at Yale!
The Initiative is a non-profit organization that provides start-up money for projects that protect the legal rights or interests of inadequately represented groups. It funds cutting-edge projects whose successful execution might be a model for other organizations seeking new and better ways to represent clients.
For information about how to apply, visit The Initiative's web site at http://www.law.yale.edu/stuorgs/initiative.htm.
The deadline to submit applications for one-year grants of up to $30,000 to be awarded in the summer of 2009 is February 2, 2009.
