I'm on co-op at the Children's Law Center of Massachusetts, and loving it. Here's the negatives - it's located in Lynn and the supposed 35 minute commute takes more like 55+ minutes plus a toll bridge/tunnel to get home. And the intern office doesn't have any windows and because it's winter that means 0 daylight. That's it.
Otherwise, co-op is awesome. A few attorneys have been there for 10+ years and have a ton of institutional knowledge, something I've learned to value since other places I've worked have lacked it. There are two young attorneys, one from NUSL 2010, that show me exactly the type of work I could be doing in 2 years. I've been able to sit in on client meetings and attend special ed IEP team meetings. I'm learning a ton about Dept. of Youth Services and Dept. of Children and Families and what happens to kids when they're expelled (37H and 37H 1/2). I'll have more updates on what I'm doing on co-op as the quarter continues.
