The program began in 1994 and each year it has been able to help students to pursue their goals and dreams of becoming public interest attorneys. Law students at Ohio Northern University College of Law continue the history of public service in actively seeking ways to make a difference in our society.

Law Career Services has sponsored the ONU Public Interest Fellowship Program each year since its inception awarding thousands in summer public interest fellowship stipends to students. The Fellows have applied and been chosen by a committee of faculty and administration for their past involvement in Public Interest as well as their desire to continue in Public Interest fields after graduation from law school. Each year students participate in non-profit summer programs assisting those in the community who are most in need: abused women and children, individuals impaired physically and mentally, the aged, minorities and other underprivileged persons and groups.

The Public Interest live Auction, Silent Auction and Raffle is supported by alumni, businesses, individuals, students and student organizations along with faculty, staff and administration of the law college and the university. All are invited to participate in the auction by donating and bidding on items. The community is invited to attend the complimentary luncheon that precedes the auction. Cash donations for the cost of the luncheon are always appreciated. This program has been designed to encourage participation from every individual interested in helping those in need both locally and throughout the country. The auction offers fun, excitement, good food, education incentives for students and support for Public Interest programs across the nation. It also offers the community an opportunity to meet and network with our law students as they help in a very worthy endeavor.
