Pitt Law 2L John “JP” Leskovich (JD ’25) will participate in this year’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Summer Internship Program. This summer, JP will work with Neighborhood Legal Services this summer to support underserved communities throughout Pennsylvania.
PLAN, Inc. established the Martin Luther King, Jr. Summer Internship Program in 1991 as a way to increase diversity among our Network's attorneys and better represent the client communities we serve. Each summer, ten first- and second-year law students are awarded placements at the legal aid organizations in our Network. Through a curriculum that encourages self-reflection, personal growth, and building a professional network, our internships provide law students with valuable legal work experience that allows them to learn about the unique challenges faced by low-income and marginalized communities in Pennsylvania and prepares them to be thoughtful, compassionate advocates for justice.
