Job Description

Position Summary:

Legal interns at CLC have the opportunity to work across all of CLC’s issue areas—campaign finance, ethics, voting rights, and redistricting—using all of our methods of advocacy, including litigation, state and local reform, and regulatory agency practice. Summer legal interns will work under the close supervision of senior CLC attorneys, including a dedicated mentor. 

Responsibilities:

  • Draft legal pleadings, motions or briefs
  • Research and write memoranda on complex legal issues for pending and potential litigation
  • Conduct factual investigations
  • Draft regulatory or statutory language
  • Draft complaints to regulatory agencies
  • Write advocacy letters, FOIA requests, blog posts, testimony, and other programmatic documents

Qualifications and Experience:

  • Must be a current 1L or 2L (rising 2L or 3L) at an accredited law school
  • Strong research and writing skills
  • Ability to work effectively and collaboratively as part of a team
  • Commitment to the nonpartisan nature and mission of CLC
  • For summer internships: Availability for at least ten weeks in the summer of 2025
  • For semester internships: Availability for at least ten hours a week during the term of the internship. 

To Apply:

Please submit a cover letter, resume, and writing sample in a single pdf.

Applications from 2Ls will be accepted starting November 1, 2024. Applications from 1Ls will be accepted starting December 1, 2024. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. The application period closes on January 15, 2025. Students are encouraged to apply early.

In addition to summer legal internships, CLC will also consider applications for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semester legal internships. If applicants are interested in being considered for semester internships, they should note their interest in their cover letter. 

Though this is a paid internship, once an offer is accepted, CLC asks all interns to apply for public interest summer funding available through their educational institution, if any is offered. That funding may be applied toward the salary guarantee. The availability of summer funding does not play any role in hiring decisions. Interns hired during the semester will be eligible for a wage subject to any limits imposed by their school with respect to work study, course credit, or other school requirements.
