Text: Big [F]law: Seeking Student Stories

The [F]law wants to hear from you!
Our new series, Big [F]law, aims to (1) spotlight students’ experiences interning with big law firms and (2) highlight how this work shaped students’ perspectives on the harms caused by corporate interests and the law’s role in empowering corporations.

We plan to share snippets of student stories on The [F]law’s Instagram account (@theflawmagazine) and can anonymize posts if preferred.
