Law Student Summer

Profile

Law Student, Summer

Intern will vary, working with company will involve participating in all phases of civil rights litigation. Interns will be asked to write legal research memoranda, draft discovery requests and other legal pleadings, participate in client interviews, visit clients and witnesses in prison, review and organize discovery, draft letters and public records requests, review and respond to letters from incarcerated people and their families seeking assistance, and attend hearings, trials, depositions, mediations, settlement negotiations, and oral arguments as they may occur throughout the internship. Should have excellent research and writing skills, a desire to work in a collaborative environment, and a demonstrated interest in social justice (and in particular, representing incarcerated people). Typically, law students working as interns in the spring and fall attend South Florida-area law schools, but regularly have applicants from around the country doing externships.
