MBFseal2The MBF Trustees proudly announce that five exceptional law students were recently selected to receive a stipend of $6,000 each for their summer internships at non-profit legal aid organizations in Massachusetts. The grants are provided through the MBF’s Legal Intern Fellowship Program, which is funded by the MBF Fellows Fund, and the Smith Family Fund, and has two concurrent goals: to give talented students the experience and encouragement they need to continue in the public interest law sector and to provide legal aid organizations with much-needed additional staff capacity for the summer.
