\"Zach<\/a>The 21st Annual Howard B. Eisenberg Do-Gooders’ Auction<\/a>\u00a0on behalf of the Law School’s Public Interest Law Society (PILS) will be held in the evening on Friday, February 21, 2014 at the Law School.\u00a0 Proceeds from the event go to support PILS\u00a0fellowships to enable Marquette law students to do public interest work in the summer. Zachariah Fudge, a current law student, shares his experience here as a PILS\u00a0Fellow.\u00a0 Besides his work as\u00a0a PILS\u00a0Fellow, Zachariah is active on the PILS student board.<\/p>\n

You may attend the Auction by purchasing tickets here<\/a> or you may purchase tickets at the door.\u00a0 This link <\/a>also provides you with an opportunity to donate to the Auction.<\/p>\n

Where did you work as a PILS Fellow?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This past summer I was a legal intern at the Alternate Public Defender\u2019s Office in San Diego.<\/p>\n

What kind of work did you do there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Alternate Public Defender took on felony cases where there was a conflict with the main Public Defender\u2019s Office, so our cases were usually more complex, multi-defendant affairs. I was able to do quite a bit over the course of\u00a0my brief tenure, including\u00a0conducting client and witness interviews, researching, drafting motions, and representing clients during various types of hearings. I was able to second chair a ten-day trial that ended in the dismissal of all charges, so that was exciting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How was the experience meaningful to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, criminal defense is great in that your work helps another human being in a distinct way at a crucial moment in their life, and you get to meet and get to know the client over time. If you\u2019re lucky, you can make a real difference in someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

What did you learn in the course of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I learned a lot about the dozens of subtly different fraud crimes in the California statutes; hopefully that will not come again. I also learned quite a bit about dealing with judges and juries, and\u00a0that hopefully will come up again in my career.<\/p>\n

What do you like best about doing public interest law work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best\u00a0part about public interest work is the most obvious thing, that you are actually helping people. It also\u00a0is extremely interesting work. Personally, I can\u2019t imagine doing anything else.<\/p>\n

What are you doing to help with the PILS Auction?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was press-ganged\u00a0into a PILS board position as an Education & Outreach Chair, so I\u2019m not really involved in the planning of the Auction. On the night of the event, I am going to work setting up the Auction and doing coat check.<\/p>\n
