波士顿大学法律系学生获得2017年夏季公益奖学金
新濠影汇线上赌场研究员们利用他们的技能帮助性暴力受害者、难民、贫困被告和据称受到歧视的受害者。
波士顿大学法学院(波士顿大学 School of law)的四名学生(两名21年级新生和两名31年级新生)获得了Altarescu公共利益暑期奖学金,以支持他们在2017年夏天在公益组织的工作。
Altarescu公共利益暑期奖学金每年为几名波士顿大学法律系学生提供获得公共利益法第一手经验的机会。 每个学生暑假都在不同的与公共利益相关的政府机构或非营利组织工作。 BU Law awarded the first fellowships in 2011, and have done so every year since, thanks to Howard Altarescu (’74), who leads the finance sector at 奥.
以下是2017年的四位Altarescu新濠影汇线上赌场研究员及其主办机构:
艾米丽·张伯伦(Emily Chamberlin)(19届)
波士顿地区强奸危机中心
波士顿地区强奸危机中心(BARCC)为强奸和性侵犯幸存者、他们的亲人以及与他们一起工作的专业人员提供一系列服务。 它通过宣传、咨询、法律服务、教育和培训提供援助。 在与BARCC合作的过程中,张伯伦正在学习如何将她为家庭暴力和性暴力受害者辩护的承诺与她的律师职业结合起来。
Says Chamberlin, who began her advocacy work in college: “I found it difficult at first to figure out how certain elements of my “pre-law school” life would fit with the exciting and challenging path I had taken…in the future, I hope to make this the center focus of my 的公益活动 work.”
达利亚·富莱汉(18届)
联合国难民事务高级专员
作为华盛顿特区联合国难民事务高级专员办事处(UNHCR)的法律实习生,富莱汉帮助处理重新安置申请,与非政府组织沟通,并为难民提供有关家庭团聚福利的建议。 难民署为难民、国内流离失所者、无国籍者和寻求庇护者提供保护、援助和宣传。
“我带着对人权和难民法的兴趣来到法学院,”富莱汉说。 “在联合国难民事务高级专员办事处工作期间,我想扩大自己在难民法方面的经验,同时也想了解联合国难民事务高级专员办事处如何监测和管理世界各地的难民危机。”
Maria Savarese(18届)
哥伦比亚特区公设辩护律师事务所
公设辩护人服务(PDS)是一个独立的组织,为华盛顿特区的贫困被告(包括成人和儿童)提供法院指定的律师。 PDS的工作包括审判法、上诉法、精神卫生法、特别诉讼、假释律师、民事法律服务和社区辩护人。 For Savarese, who came to law school with the goal of becoming a public defender, the fellowship is a perfect fit: “The training I’ll get at PDS this summer will make me a more competitive candidate when I apply to public defender offices after graduation,” Savarese says. “这也将是一个难以置信的机会,可以影响华盛顿地区刑事被告的生活。”
Sophie Schuit(19届)
纽约州总检察长办公室-民权局
The Civil Rights Bureau of the New York State Attorney General’s office investigates and prosecutes cases of alleged discrimination “on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, military status, source of income or disability,” according to their website.
“I’m grateful for this fellowship opportunity as it has allowed me to explore a new area of law and learn more about approaching civil rights issues from the government’s perspective,” Schuit says. “Moving forward, it will help me determine which areas I want to focus on as a civil rights attorney, and how I want to practice law—potentially through policy development, litigation, or legislative advocacy.”
