Hands-on experience is great, but the bureaucracy makes it difficult to stay - Anonymous employee Prairie State Legal Services Employee Review

The staff was amazing and so helpful. Always supportive and always there to answer your questions or lend you some advice. The work enviornment is great.

It's always hard working in public interest law and not being able to help everyone that walks through the doors.

Gain experience in courtroom A lot of training

Low pay and not much room to negotiate
