A study confirms two other key reasons for getting legal help if you are in an auto accident ? you will likely receive more money, and you have a better chance of recovering money.The study was conducted by the respected Rand Institute. It found that auto accident victims who hire attorneys receive about 25% more money than auto accident victims who do not hire attorneys ? even after deducting all costs.The study also found that using a lawyer increases an auto accident victim?s chances of recovering money to almost 95%.

M.A. (1982) | Public Policy Program

1980 - 1981

The M.A. in Public Policy Program continued its expansion in 2005 and 2006. Last June, thirty students received their Masters degrees, making the 2005 class the largest in the programâs six-year history. This June thirty-three students received their Masterâs degrees, and we expect at least forty students to be enrolled in full-time study in September. The graduating students are utilizing their degrees to pursue diverse objectives. One former student is Empire Zone Coordinator for the Town of Brookhaven; in that position he is responsible for attracting business to the Townâs 1280 acres of zoned land and for administering a Workforce Development Program for economically depressed areas. Another former student performed an internship in the office of a state legislator, and then was hired to work in that office full-time. Among the current students, one works full-time as a Public Affairs Representative in the Media & Communications Office of Brookhaven National Laboratory, while another is Director of the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management & Homeland Security. Masterâs students are required to contribute to the community in the form of 200-hour internships, typically in government offices and non-profit organizations. Some examples of internships students performed this year are: Public Policy Program Highlights Stony Brook University Dr. Scott Basinger, M.A. Program Director United States Congress New York State Assembly and New York State Senate Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission Peconic Estuary Program (in Suffolk County Department of Health Services â Office of Ecology) Long Island Regional Planning Board New York City Housing Authority New York City Public Advocate Office These internships provide students a valuable opportunity to put classroom lessons to work, and create momentum in their pursuit of civic service.
