CJI was once again proud to sponsor and attend the Jackie Macaulay Auction at UW Law School! This event serves to reduce financial barriers for law students seeking public interest careers by funding internships in the public sector.
"When she was a law student, Jackie and SBA President Mark Borns founded the Public Interest Law Foundation. Many students come to the UW Law School hoping to use their legal skills to make the world a better place. Too much of traditional American legal education pushes students to abandon such goals. Jackie and Mark saw the need for an institution within the school that helped preserve and develop such ideals."

Really interesting write-up and a great look into how community-led auctions like this help support public interest work and bring people together around a shared cause. I liked how the post highlights both the event atmosphere and the broader mission behind it, especially the way fundraising directly supports opportunities for law students pursuing public service careers. It also shows how local initiatives can have a wider impact by strengthening access to education and justice-related work. Content like this connects well to broader discussions around civic engagement, nonprofit strategy, and leadership development, which are often explored in MBA Dissertation Topics when studying how organisations balance mission-driven goals with sustainable fundraising and community participation.
