On September 10, 2001, Donald A. Griesmann, Esq., Ventnor, NJ, prepared this list of nonprofit employment sites; it is no longer being updated. A general introduction to all the career-related information at Idealist is found at http://www.idealist.org/if/i/en/faq/928-310/295-201. Students Pro Bono Students of America Public Interest Clearinghouse, http://www.pbsa.org, has free posting of jobs and for placing a resume. The jobs are worldwide and not only in law-related fields. Students post resumes and employers can search the resume bank at no charge using specific search criteria. Employers are required to register, at no cost, to learn the name of any candidates who fit their criteria. After finding a candidate, there may be fees for the employer. There are a number of universities, colleges, graduate and law schools and other entities that maintain their own web sites for employment opportunities. Check with schools in your community. Some samples include Georgetown University Law Center Office of Public Interest and Public Service, http://www.law.georgetown.edu/opics, Public Interest Projects in Atlanta, http://www.law.emory.edu/PI, and Harvard Law Office of Public Interest Advising, http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/opia/.
