Theresa Cusic, Class of 2017 Omaha, NE

I came to law school with a passion for working in the public interest. The Nebraska Public Interest Law Fund (NPILF) has been vital in providing me funding to pursue this passion. Through NPILF, I’ve gained valuable experience working at three different non-profits, providing both direct legal services and legislative advocacy. These experiences have given me insight into the ability of public interest organizations to effect change on a variety of levels and have affirmed my desire to work in the public interest after law school.
