The fund helps support UO students who spend their summers as interns at nonprofit law firms, said Laura Sadowski, outreach coordinator for the student organization. Such firms often can't afford to pay interns, Sadowski said, and students aren't always in a position to work for free. Students benefit because they get legal experience for their resumes, which could lead to paid work later on, Sadowski said. Public interest law firms - which often serve people who can't otherwise afford a lawyer - can always use extra help, she said. "There are a lot of beneficiaries," she said. Last year's auction helped fund 10 student interns with $2,500 stipends. "The money pays for food and shelter. It's not a wage," Sadowski said. The auction itself is a free event. There will also be an optional beer and wine bar with a $12 cover charge, which includes a commemorative glass. BENEFIT AUCTION Friday: in Wayne Morse Commons, Knight Law Center, University of Oregon. Silent auction at 6 p.m., regular auction at 7:30 p.m. in Room 175. |
