Edward Jones
NY Lawyers for the Public Interest
New York City
Jones spent ten weeks in New York City as a legal intern for New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, a group that focuses on disability rights, access to health care for underserved populations, and environmental justice. “As an intern, I worked with attorneys in each of these areas” Jones explained. “I wrote a memo about New York City’s school site selection process for a case in which the city had built a school on a hazardous waste site.” Jones also drafted a motion defending the expert witnesses in a police brutality case.
