Internships
We are
currently accepting applications from law students in their
first and second years of law school for our Summer 2010
internship program.
A
fervent passion for civil rights and an unfaltering commitment
to those facing the death penalty is essential. The ability and
willingness of the intern matched against the workload of the
office, largely dictates what tasks interns will perform. They
include legal research, monitoring court proceedings, gathering
and summarizing records, social science research, gathering
statistical data, interviewing jurors, and visiting clients.
The LCAC
credits the exceptional contribution that interns make, and we
welcome applications for internships. All of our achievements in
the last decade can be attributed to the commitment, diligence
and energy of the whole team.
The
internship is a ten week commitment, unpaid. Students are
encouraged to identify outside sources of funding. Interested
applicants should send a resume, a cover letter detailing their
interest in capital defense work, a writing sample and a list of
three references.
Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, as the
recruitment process is competitive and applicants are considered
on a rolling basis, with final slots generally filled in early
February. If you have any questions about our internship program
or are interested in applying, please contact:
