Legal Aid summer associate named a national “Summer Corps Standout”

Cleveland, Ohio --  Jocelyn Rosnick, a 2012 J.D. candidate at Case Western Reserve School of Law, was named one of six national Equal Justice Works Summer Corps Standouts.

The Equal Justice Works Summer Corps program provides law students with the opportunity to dedicate their summer to a legal project at a qualifying nonprofit public interest organization. Summer Corps members expand the delivery of critically needed legal assistance in low-income and underserved communities across the country on a broad range of issue areas.   700 law student participate annually.   Only six are named "standouts."

Ms. Rosnick was part of The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland's annual summer associate program.   Each summer Legal Aid hosts a group of hard-working and public-interest-minded students to work in four Northeast Ohio offices for our summer associate program. Legal Aid's summer associate program is prestigious and competitive. In previous years, as many as 170 applications were submitted for the unpaid positions.
