Almost all maintain active links with legal practice, often through the Center's clinics and research projects. In each category there are programs designed to give students experience with real cases or problems through clinics, externships, independent study, or legislative research and drafting projects. While nearly half of our full-time faculty have public interest experience, the following bring that perspective to the courses they teach. The Bill Phinney Fund, named for a prominent New Hampshire lawyer who set a personal example of pro bono representation, was established in 1987 by a generous gift from his widow, Eileen Phinney. The assistance takes the form of reimbursement of a portion of the law school loan repayments that the public-interest graduate made in the previous tax year.
Reimbursement is limited to five years.
Assistance is limited to five years.
