This will be an immersive “living and learning” experience organized around opportunities to visit alumni at many different kinds of organizations—legal aid, the courts, public interest law firms and others doing pro-bono work, nonprofits, and government agencies.

Paralegal job at Federal Defenders of New York
Federal Defenders of New York, Inc. (FDNY) has an opening for a paralegal position in our Brooklyn office (EDNY). This job is an extraordinary opportunity to gain substantive exposure to criminal law and direct service work. Paralegals are typically hired for a term of two years, but this may be extended depending on the needs of the office. This is a Midd-friendly employer!
FDNY is a nonprofit organization providing criminal defense services to indigent persons charged with federal crimes throughout New York City, Long Island, and several counties north of New York City. We are not a government agency and our employees are not government employees. Our mission is straightforward: although we provide our services free of cost, our clients should receive the finest legal representation available at any price. We are committed to equal justice and fight vigorously for those accused of crimes. A large part of our caseload involves immigration-related offenses, drugs, fraud, bank robbery, firearms, and internet-related crimes.
We value diversity and believe better legal representation occurs when members of the defense team have diverse backgrounds and experience. For more information about our office generally, please visit our website at www.federaldefendersny.org. Or the job posting here

Pre-doc: Pathways to Research and Doctoral Careers
Pathways to Research and Doctoral Careers (PREDOC) is a consortium of universities and research institutions that aims to foster a talented, diverse, and inclusive population in the quantitative social sciences.
PREDOC’s strategy is to leverage the booming market of full-time pre-doctoral research assistantships (“pre-docs”), working with our partners to expand the talent pool; reduce informational frictions; scout for talent; and engage, mentor, and educate students from any background. Our goal is to help pre-doc and PhD programs identify and admit those who are likely to move the quantitative social sciences forward, while simultaneously supporting those nascent scholars on their way to a research career.
