"Working for the New York State
Attorney General's Office has given me
more insight and has made me realize how
much I can't wait to become a lawyer. It
is a wonderful opportunity to work with
different lawyers and see first hand what
they do day in and day out," says prelaw
student Meghan Fescoe (pictured at right). As a public
advocate, Meghan is a student mediator
assisting consumers in filing complaints and helping the legal staff with ongoing
investigations.
