CISP at Northeastern Law

CISP at Northeastern Law CISP is a mutual aid organization supporting NUSL students engaged in unpaid public interest work.

CISP (Cooperative Income Sharing Program) is a student-run and student-managed organization dedicated to increasing awareness of, and student participation in, work for the public interest and social justice. Such work can take the form of public interest co-ops, public service careers, and pro bono work at private law firms. The law school requires all students to participate in public interest w

ork by completing a public interest co-op, taking a clinical course, performing at least 30 hours of uncompensated legal work (in a public interest setting or with a private firm on a pro bono project), or completing a public interest independent study. Consonant with the school's public interest requirement is CISP's belief that all attorneys, present or future, should dedicate some resources to helping people and organizations tackling important social, economic, and environmental issues (and many more). To this end, we provide approximately funding to students accepting unfunded co-ops with public interest employers. Fund-raising for the stipends takes the form of CISP dues, sales of official NUSL merchandise, CISP kitchen proceeds, ticket sales for CISP's annual "Talent/No Talent Show", used textbook sales, and fundraising drives from staff, professors, family and friends.
