Profile

SPRING 2023 Criminal Justice Program Internship

The candidate will participate in one of three main project areas: Prosecutorial Accountability; Police Accountability; or Decarceration. The Prosecutorial Accountability project aims to increase engagement in prosecutorial elections, increase accountability and prevent error, and draw attention to the immense power and discretion exercised by prosecutors. The Police Accountability project aims to reduce criminalization, police power and abuse of power, implementation of police reform at the state and local level, and effective oversight on police power. The Decarceration project aims to reduce incarceration and includes bail reform work and indigent defense advocacy. Interns will be tasked with legal and policy research and analysis; helping to author reports, advocacy materials, portions of court documents, and pre-litigation demand letters; and/or assisting with legislative or other local campaigns. Interns may attend and participate in public hearings at the state and county level and participate in meetings with criminal justice policy-makers and advocates as such opportunities arise. When possible, interns may also attend appellate arguments, trial proceedings, and depositions. Interns are encouraged to attend and participate in monthly program meetings, where prospective litigation and policy strategies are discussed.
