Why Complete a Remote Legal Opportunity?

The legal career field placements allow undergraduates the unique opportunity to work with individual lawyers and partners to support their casework and other needs of assistance. Public policy placements also have a rich presence in many of our locations allowing political science, criminal justice, and international relations students to gain industry exposure.
