Requirements

  • Applicants must currently be enrolled in law school or a graduate program in Public Policy, Political Science, Journalism, or a related field, and must demonstrate a strong interest in issues related to Racial & Economic Justice. Applicants to the Indigenous Justice Policy Internship should have experience working with or in allyship with Indigenous communities, Tribes, and/or Native-led organizations or movements. The Legal-Policy Department accepts two to three Racial & Economic Justice Interns per term and one Indigenous Justice Policy intern per term.

Responsibilities

  • Racial & Economic Justice Interns will participate in legal and policy work to advance the goals of the Program, including: Education Equity, Housing and Homelessness, Indigenous Justice, and Assets and Income. At times, work may arise that gives interns the opportunity to work across the Department’s six broad program areas, including in the areas of Criminal Justice, Immigrants’ Rights, and Democracy & Civic Engagement. Interns will conduct legal and factual research and may be asked to draft legal memoranda, portions of court documents, advocacy letters, analyses and articles, and pre-litigation demand letters. When possible and as applicable, interns attend appellate and trial court arguments, case management meetings, and depositions. Additionally, interns may be asked to investigate facts and possible legal claims arising from intakes received via the Civil Liberties Hotline. Interns will likely have work that span the four aforementioned Racial & Economic Justice programmatic areas. We also intend to hire an Indigenous Justice Policy Intern to specifically concentrate on policy advocacy and research to advance Indigenous Justice priorities. Interns are encouraged to attend and participate in monthly program meetings, where prospective litigation and policy strategies are discussed.

We are united by the quest – “We the people dare to create a more perfect union.” Whether in the courts, statehouses, Congress or communities, we fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us —regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe. Together, we take up the toughest civil rights and liberties challenges of our time. We seek to inspire those who want change to become the ones who make change.
