Vault

Vault maintains an online career library which includes multiple legal career guides. Although the majority of the guides provided by Vault focus on private legal practice, there are guides that are useful to students interested in public interest/service.

Students interested in working for well known public interest employers should consult the Vault Guide to Government and Non-Profit Legal Employers. The organizations highlighted in this guide include the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, Legal Aid Society of New York, and the Vera Institute of Justice among others. In addition to general information about each organization, this guide also includes specific advice about how to get hired at each organization.

Students who plan to work in private legal practice, but are still interested in actively providing pro bono services, should consult the Vault Guide to Law Firm Pro Bono Programs. This guide provides information on the pro bono programs of over ninety law firms. In addition to the information provided regarding the pro bono programs at each firm, the guide also provides real anonymous commentary from associates at each firm.

BYU law students can access the Vault content at www.vault.com/cb/careerlib/careerlib_main.jsp?parrefer=2027. That site will ask for an email address and will then send an email containing a password that will work for twenty-four hours. There is no limit on the number of times a twenty-four hour password can be obtained.
