Advocates for Justice wishes to take on a wide variety of legal projects. Each one requires Project Associates -- internship positions -- to perform various tasks, both administrative and on-topic. There are currently five attorneys affiliated with Advocates for Justice who are working on legal matters. (Last summer we had only one.)
Advocates for Justice is seeking up to four (4) interns -- law school students and/or undergraduates -- to participate in a 12-week summer internship in 2012. Anticipated casework includes 9/11 victims making claims to the Victims Compensation Fund under the Zadroga Act, matters pertaining to public education, matters pertaining to exploited workers. Additional cases are anticipated. Please review the Advocates for Justice website: www.advocatesforjustice.net.
Candidates who are serious, detail-oriented, strong writers, and able to work both autonomously and with teams should apply. Candidates with special skills are of particular interest (e.g. - web design and other internship experience, fluency in languages other than English, etc.).
Project Associates may work a flexible schedule totaling to no fewer than 30 hours per week. Work will be performed both within the office and outside of the office. This is a voluntary position that requires a serious commitment. No compensation for the position is available at this time. At this point in time, the position reports directly to the Executive Director. Successful candidates will receive a letter of recommendation based upon their work during the internship.
Project Associates will be required to have their own laptop (with wireless connectivity) and pay for their own unlimited NYC MTA Metrocard (weekly or monthly) and any food or beverages while working. Any other approved expenditures will be reimbursed.
