LexisNexis has launched a new program for deferred graduates which
will enable students who pursue public service during the deferral
of professional practice to access certain LexisNexis services free
of charge.
Initially, the LexisNexis ASPIRE (Associates Serving Public
Interests Research) program was limited to graduates who have
accepted an associate position at a law firm but are experiencing a
deferred fall 2009 start date and are taking on public interest
work during the deferral period.
But Lexis has recently announced that they are expanding
eligibility to all 2009 graduates pursuing verifiable public
interest (non-profit or charitable) work. This includes:
(1) Deferred fall associates pursuing public interest work
during their deferral periods,
(2) 2009 graduates who elect to pursue public interest work
while searching for law firm employment, and
(3) Those 2009 graduates who pursue public interest work as a
continuing profession.
Complimentary LexisNexis access will be provided throughout these
graduates' public interest employment periods, up until September
2010 maximum.
Interested students may sign up now at www.lexisnexis.com/aspire.
