Job Description

The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is one of the nation’s leading national racial justice legal organizations. Formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy, the Lawyers’ Committee uses legal advocacy to achieve racial justice, fighting inside and outside the courts to ensure that Black people and other people of color have the voice, opportunity, and power to make the promises of our democracy real.

Job Title : Fall Legal Intern
Location : Washington, DC
Job Type : Part Time or Full Time
Term : September 16th, 2024 - December 6th, 2024

About the Role :
The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law offers legal internships to support our work to achieve racial justice. Our interns contribute to projects that make impactful change and provide the intern with professional and personal development. The Lawyers’ Committee’s full-time staff is based in Washington, DC and is divided into several departments including: Digital Justice, Economic Justice, Fair Housing, Educational Opportunities, Public Policy and Criminal Justice.

 
  • All interns will receive a $450 stipend.
  • Internships can be full time (37.5 hours per week) or part time depending on class schedule.
  • Interns are given meaningful projects that expand their skill set and allow opportunity for growth. Our goal is for interns to gain relevant and valuable experience that helps them in their academic and professional careers.
  • Our interns gain positive working relationships and mentors they can carry throughout their career.
Fall interns with a full course load must work between 10 to 15 hours a week during the fall semester, and 20 hours without a full course load. Students can commute into the Lawyers’ Committee office or work remotely.

Full-time interns are also accepted. Fall interns typically attend colleges and universities in or around the metropolitan District of Columbia region, although the Lawyers’ Committee is also happy to host students participating in externship or academic exchange programs.
