Allegheny County, PA Introduces New Initiatives for Law Students
By Jim Vassallo


In recent events, Allegheny County has introduced two brand new initiatives aimed at offering law students with much needed on the job experience and helping social service agencies with legal assistance shortages in help.

The Gismondi Fund was created in order to place 6 University of Pittsburgh Law Students in their 2nd year at the Neighborhood Legal Service Association in law clerk position. For the first time, financing will come from the Lawyers Fund of the Allegheny County Bar Foundation. They will provide funds for 11 clerkships at local social service organizations during the summer. The financing is for students enrolled at Duquesne and Pitt law schools.

For many years now, the only job a law student could find with a law firm was a summer job. Now, there are going to be more opportunities in that first step for law students working towards the security of a permanent position. According to the National Association for Law Placement, law firms have kept summer associate class sizes small, but the percentage of job offers to summer associates increased in slight growth from 2012 to 2013. This translates into 92% of summer associates who were also students receiving job offers, signifying the importance of experience for those seeking full time permanent law positions.

The program was created to give students the necessary on the job experience that will support them once they are graduating and seeking opportunities. In 1918, The Lawyers Fund was established to help members pay the membership bar association fee dues of $3.50. Now in 2014, they will be providing 11 $4,000 fellowships for summer positions. The Women’s Center & Shelter, the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office, the Allegheny County Public Defender’s office, and the Education Law Center are just some of the places that the participants will be for the summer positions.

In addition to these fellowships, the Neighborhood Legal Services Association agency currently serving Allegheny, Lawrence, and Beaver counties will have 6 fellowships for law students at Pitt. These positions will be financed through the Gismondi Fund too. The $225,000 donation is meant to do much more than just help the association who has seen their Butler office close and a 20% cut in budget funds, but is also going to help law students get the experience they need so much in a practice area that may not have considered otherwise.

Duquesne Law School Dean, Ken Gormley said that the job fellowships are for much more than just to address job shortages. He commented that the funding would do much to help the law students seeking employment in social service agencies, but are too often turned away because of the dried up funding. Many students have the desire and passion to help the underprivileged and this will be a way for them to explore if that is truly their calling.
