LAW STUDENT CLERKS: FULL OR PART-TIME
Under the supervision of an attorney, the law clerk will prepare legal memoranda, conduct legal research, perform other litigation and non-litigation related legal assignments, and conduct client interviews. Clerks also participate in legal staff meetings.
Law clerks work in all of our issue areas (race, immigration, poverty). If you have a particular interest in one of these areas, please indicate this in your cover letter - there may be an opportunity to work with staff on special projects in these areas.
Summer law clerks are ordinarily expected to work 37.5 hours per week for 10 weeks. During the semester, law clerks are expected to work at least 15 hours per week. We encourage clerks to seek academic credit or independent funding for their work.
Law clerks at the Lawyers' Committee may be considered
in the future for post-graduate fellowships at the Lawyers' Committee,
including our Thurgood Marshall Fellowship and sponsorship for the Skadden
and Equal Justice Works Fellowships.
Suggested application submission periods:
Summer: August 1 – March 15
