This pivotal opportunity allows students to gain hands-on experience working in a dynamic and inclusive environment.

About the Position

We invite applications from motivated and detail-oriented law students who are passionate about advancing social justice and human rights. As a Legal Intern, you will be involved in critical tasks under the supervision of our experienced attorneys, including:

We encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds, including Black, indigenous, and other people of color; women and femmes; people with disabilities; and those who are transgender, intersex, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer, to apply.

Compensation
