PBHA's Harvard Undergraduate Legal Committee arranges and supervises multiple programs. The Internship Program places undergraduates in public service law and advocacy firms in the Boston area. Based on interests expressed in their applications, volunteers are assigned to a legal organization. Some of these organizations focus on immigration, others on housing, child welfare, civil rights, gay rights, etc. The job descriptions of most volunteer positions extend far beyond clerical work to writing court documents, attending court sessions, interviewing clients, performing research, and organizing at the grassroots level. Given the nature of these responsibilities, volunteers interact with and advocate for low income or traditionally underrepresented clients while gaining significant real world experience. HULC also sponsors dinners with guest speakers in relevant fields, visits to different sites, an advocacy campaign, a mentor program, and the only national Public Interest and Law Conference.
