Spring and Summer Law Clerks
November 2, 2009
The Employment Justice Center (DC) seeks spring and summer law clerks to perform legal research and writing and provide litigation support to staff attorneys; attend and participate in the EJC’s weekly Workers’ Rights Clinics on Mondays and Wednesdays; conduct intakes for clients who cannot come to the weekly clinics; and participate in advocacy and organizing efforts. Fluency in Spanish is strongly preferred.
Spring Semester Clerkships are approximately 15 hours per week. Summer Clerkships are full-time. Law clerks are either paid or receive academic credit (as allowed by each law clerk’s law school). The EJC, however, requires law clerks to seek alternative and/or supplemental funding through fellowships, work-study, or externship programs. See flyer for details.
ABA Business Law Diversity Clerkship Program
November 12, 2008
The ABA Section of Business Law Diversity Clerkship Program encourages students to pursue business court clerkship opportunities and to consider careers in the practice of business law. In considering a student’s diversity, the Section will give special consideration to individuals who have overcome social or economic disadvantages such as physical disability, financial constraints, or cultural impediments to becoming a law student.
Up to nine interns will be given a summer stipend of $6,000 and placed in business court clerkships in the Philadelphia Commerce Court or the Delaware Court of Chancery. Other possible internship locations include New York and Florida.
To apply, students must be Section of Business Law members. For membership information and to join the Section, click here.
All application materials must be received on or before Friday, January 30, 2009. For more information and application instructions/materials go directly to the ABA Program site.
