The 2020 Massachusetts Bar Foundation Legal Intern Fellowship Program (LIFP) program provided five exemplary law students with a stipend of $6,000 each for a full-time summer internship at a Massachusetts organization providing civil legal services to the poor.
The MBF’s Legal Intern Fellowship Program has two concurrent goals: to give talented students the experience and encouragement they need to pursue careers in the public interest law sector and to provide legal aid organizations with much-needed additional staff capacity for the summer. These awards are supported by generous contributions to the MBF from lawyers and judges statewide.
