We are currently looking for interns to observe a landmark case this summer. The

This is a complicated case with 10 plaintiffs and a variety of liability issues. Interns would be asked to observe the hearing approximately 4 days a week and would be asked to take notes. In the early evenings, before 7pm they would be asked to meet with one or more attorney to discuss their observations. In
particular, we would be interested in content of testimony, jury
reaction, and an overall impression of what went well and what did not. Although
this is an unpaid internship for the Center for Constitutional Rights

Lambda Legal? Lambda Legal is welcoming applications from "deferred

join us in delivering impact litigation to achieve civil rights for
lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and people living with
HIV.
Our
offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York
specialize in high–impact direct representation and amicus cases,
education and public policy work. Our work spans a wide range of areas,

in employment, benefits, housing, insurance, schools, foster care,
juvenile detention and other areas; harassment and violence; anti–LGBT
ballot initiatives; access to healthcare and HIV–related treatments;
child custody, visitation and adoption; relationship protections,
including the freedom to marry; and discrimination based upon gender
identity and sex–stereotyping. Lambda Legal has been involved in many
recent Supreme Court cases, including Lawrence v. Texas, Morse v. Frederick, Garrett v. University of Alabama Board of Trustees, Dale v. Boy Scouts of America, Troxel v. Granville, Romer v. Evans, and Board of Regents of University of Wisconsin v. Southworth. For more information, visit us online.
The
public interest associate would work with Lambda Legal attorneys,
assisting with ongoing impact litigation and advocacy and developing
new matters for litigation. The associate might also help combat
discrimination related to sexual orientation, gender identity and
expression, and HIV status by participating in the work of Lambda
Legal's Help Desk, which responds via phone and email directly to
members of our communities who call or write seeking legal information.
Interested associates should contact Legal Administrative Manager Nick Tarasen.
Please include:
1. brief statement of interest and resume
2. potential start date and desired length of placement
3. desired office location for placement
Please
note that we can only accept applications from associates whose
employer provides employment benefits, including health coverage.
Thanks for helping us extend our resources in the fight for equality!
Sincerely,
Jon Davidson Legal Director Lambda Legal

is about the war on poverty. And, the war continues.”
Lone

time summer law clerk positions for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to do legal work with poor people in Texas in our office on Galveston
Island. The office has been located approximately 40 miles from Houston
in historic downtown Galveston in a building that survived the legendary
1900 Storm….but our office did not survive Hurricane Ike and we moved
across the street. Texas has the 7th highest rate in the
US of residents below the poverty guidelines with 15.6%. Before Ike
approximately 22.3% of the island’s 57,000 population fell below the
federal poverty guidelines. See www.galveston.com.

web at www.lonestarlegal.org. The Galveston office handles a broad range
of cases while engaged in the War on Poverty.
The
law clerks will report to the Disaster Relief Team and will participate
in advocating the legal and constitutional rights of Katrina,
Rita, and Ike survivors. They will be part of a dynamic legal aid program
that is the 4th largest in the country and covers East Texas and Southwest
Arkansas. The clerks may receive assignments to assist attorneys from
other LSLA offices.
The
successful applicant should possess: Sense of outrage at injustice.
Strong interest in poverty issues and Constitutional law. Ability
to develop and implement non-litigation strategies. Self-motivation
and ability to work under pressure. Willingness to work beyond confines

The Mental Health Project of the
Urban Justice Center ("MHP") seeks law student interns for the summer
of 2009 to help us advocate for low-income people with severe mental illness in
New York City. We strive to challenge
our interns and to provide the supervision necessary for them to succeed. Students will have the opportunity to
interview clients, represent clients at administrative hearings, research and
write briefs, and work on class actions, systemic reforms, and test cases. Many summer interns have chosen to continue
their work here into the academic year, and some have gone on to win Skadden, Open
Societies Institute, Kirkland and Ellis, and Equal Justice Works fellowships.
MHP
combines direct service with systemic advocacy.
For hundreds of clients each year, we stop evictions, reunite families, win
Social Security, win public assistance benefits, and obtain medical
insurance. Based on what we learn from
our clients, we educate, organize, and litigate for systemic change. Our groundbreaking systemic work has been
covered by the
New York Times, El Diario, Telemundo, the Daily News, Newsday, Rolling
Stone, New York 1, WNBC, WABC, WNYC,
WBAI, Inside Edition, and the Boston Globe.

STUDENTS ACTIVE FOR ENDING RAPE (SAFER), Inc.
SAFER is a national non-profit organization committed to
empowering students to hold colleges accountable for sexual assault in their
on- and off-campus communities. SAFER achieves its goals by training students
in effective organizing tactics and challenging them to examine the overlapping
links between sexual assault and all forms of individual and institutional
violence.
Background
In response to student requests, SAFER, in collaboration with
other nonprofit organizations, is creating a database of college sexual assault
policies and programs with comments on specific positive and negative policy
elements. This database will enable students to be better informed of the
various policy options available, and see how their school compares to similar
schools. Policies will be analyzed based on the basic components a better
sexual assault policy should contain as well as compliance with relevant
legislation. Students will also have the opportunity to enter information about
their own experiences. The database will also enable student groups to connect
with groups at other schools to share best practice and collaborate.
Role
The intern will analyze college sexual assault policies from
selected schools for compliance with VAWA, the Clery Act, Title IX and due
process. Analysis will be based both on how the policies are written, and on
how they are implemented (including whether schools have erroneous
confidentiality requirements and whether schools have correctly implemented
statistical reporting requirements). The intern will produce written commentary
on policy compliance to be entered in the database. In addition, the intern
will research any legal action taken regarding sexual assault at selected
schools and report that information for inclusion in the database. SAFER's
Board of Directors, which includes lawyers, has researched these areas in the
past and will provide guidance to the law student. It should be noted that the
law student will not be working on any cases nor giving legal advice and will be
performing only policy analysis in his/her legal work. The law student intern
will work under the supervision of SAFER's executive director. A supervising
attorney will assist with the legal questions and legal work supervision of the
internship.
The hours worked will depend on the student's schedule. (Summer internship is 40hrs/wk). This
position is unpaid, but we will work with the student and the student's school
to find funding.
SAFER strongly encourages people of color, people with
disabilities including HIV, members of the LGBTQ communities, and people of all
genders to apply. SAFER is an equal opportunity employer.
To apply, please send a cover letter, writing sample, and resume
to organizers@safercampus.org outlining your relevant knowledge, experience,
and interest. Please see www.safercampus.org for additional information.

The National Employment Law Project
New York City, New York
The National Employment Law Project
(NELP) is a non-profit research and advocacy organization that partners
with local communities to deliver on our nation's promise of economic
opportunity. With a staff of lawyers, social scientists,
and policy experts, we develop new solutions to the growing economic
insecurity of working families. Our approach is to work
in close partnership with grassroots organizing groups and reformers to
test new models in the states and then translate them to the federal
level, in order to respond to the key problems of the U.S. labor market
in the twenty-first century. Our work includes:
- Supporting strategies to raise minimum
wage and labor standards at the federal, state, and local levels, with
a particular focus on eliminating loopholes that exclude immigrants,
people of color, and contingent and temporary workers from these
protections;
- Developing new strategies to improve
the enforcement of basic workplace rights to combat the growing number
of low-wage workers who are not paid the minimum wage or overtime,
endure unsafe workplaces, and face retaliation when trying to organize;
- Working with policymakers and
community coalitions to develop new strategies for making economic
development accountable to community needs, promoting higher standards
for its delivery of living wage jobs, quality training, career ladders,
affordable housing, and environmental sustainability.
Summer Internship Program
A summer internship
at NELP offers law students the opportunity to be engaged in leading
national policy reform work around low-wage and immigrant workers. During summer 2009, we will offer two to three summer internships in our New York City office. Applicants
should send a cover letter, resume, writing sample, law school
transcript (unofficial OK), and the names of three references by e-mail only to tsedeye@nelp.org and sleberstein@nelp.org with 2009 Summer Legal Internships in the subject line. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until all positions are filled, so applicants are encouraged to apply early.
Funding for one position will be provided through the Peggy Browning Fund fellowship program (more information and application instructions are available at www.peggybrowningfund.org). Applicants
who have access to law school-based funding are strongly encouraged to
pursue such funding in order to save the Browning Fund fellowship for
students who do not have such access.
NELP is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Women, people of color, the disabled, lesbians and gay men, and people of transgendered experience are encouraged to apply.
