Last summer, Rapaport Law Firm initiated a student internship program to inculcate skills among young scholars. Our program has already yielded demonstrative results for its first participant, Thomas 0’Connor. This month, Mr. O’Connor was awarded the Putnam County Youth Leadership Award based on his experiences and contributions with our firm. In his acceptance speech, Mr. O’Connor recounted how he successfully rose to the challenge of navigating the New York court system.
