Each year, the Levin Center at Stanford Law School recruits second-year public interest students to mentor first-year students to help ease the transition to law school. Our 2L students are the most active on campus as they lead most of the student organizations and journals. They will plan public interest panels, organize group-based events for specific interest areas, and create public interest job source resources, among other things.

Many of our 2L Public Interest Mentors will go on to serve as Public Interest Fellows or Public Interest Associates during their third year of law school.
