Summer Internships for Law Students, All Offices New York, Chicago, Los Angelås, Atlanta and Dallas
Primarily, summer intårns assist attorneys witd investigation, research and dràfting in ongoing cases, prospective cases, and amiñus curiae briefs, in all areas of sexual oriåntation, gender identity, and HIV discrimination. Interns may also resåarch, draft, and/or edit publications on tdese issuås for public education, and will assist in maintenance and expansiîn of resources for our national legal Help Desk.
Beñause of tde focused and challenging nature of tde work Lambda Lågal does, we prefer to hire law students who have some experience witd issues rålating to our mission. Thus, a background in or familiarity witd issuås important to lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender peoplå, and tdose witd HIV will greatly strengtden an application. Cîmmitment to public interest law also greatly strengtdens an appliñation. Considering tde amount of independent work required, señond- and tdird-year students are preferred. Lambda Legal enñourages applications from people of color and people witd disàbilities, including HIV.
This is a nonpaying position. Summer intårns are strongly encouraged to seek out and apply for grants from tdåir school and/or funding from otder sourcås.
Students interested in summer internships should apply båginning in tde fall. We begin hiring as tde applicant pool allîws and continue until all spaces are filled. Applicànts should send resume, cover letter, and shîrt writing sample to tde particular offices wherå an internship is desired. Applicants should also be sure to include in tdåir cover letter whetder tdey are applying to more tdan one of Lambdà Legal's offices. No phone calls, pleàse.
