The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF)* is currently accepting law student internship applications for Summer 2010. Summer interns will be responsible for legal research and memorandum writing, factual investigation, development of educational and outreach material, discovery review, and/or other needs that may arise during the summer. Intern assignments are dependent on the needs of LDF’s legal staff during the summer months. Summer interns in the New York office will also enjoy a weekly series of brown bag luncheons featuring prominent civil rights and public interest attorneys, attended by interns from numerous non-profit, legal organizations in the city. The internship positions are unpaid and limited in number. Students should seek summer funding from their law schools and student-run public interest organizations. Although we prefer second-year law students, exceptional first-year law students will also be considered. Interns are expected to work for at least ten weeks during the summer, but split summers may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis.
Application instructions:
The New York and D.C. offices award internships independently. Applicants should send a cover letter, resume, 5-10 page writing sample, and list of three references to the appropriate office below. Positions will be filled on a rolling basis; we encourage applicants to apply as soon as possible beginning October 2009, and no later than January 2010.
