2027 Summer Intern - Consumer Rights & Economic Justice Project

Description

CONSUMER RIGHTS & ECONOMIC JUSTICE

To apply for a summer internship with CREJ, you must be in your first or second year of law school. Please submit a cover letter, resume, and a writing sample, all in PDF format (and a transcript, if available). Your resume must reflect the law school you are currently enrolled in, to be considered for any summer program internship at Public Counsel.

In your cover letter, discuss why you are interested in interning with Public Counsel generally and with CREJ specifically. Note that we are especially interested in receiving applications from historically underrepresented students consistent with our active, ongoing commitment to increasing equity and inclusion, and that we value lived experiences and experiences working with clients across a range of settings. Please consider addressing these topics in your cover letter, especially if not reflected in your resume. If you would like to be considered for a summer internship with another project at Public Counsel, please submit a separate application to that project. Note, however, you can only be hired to work with one project during the summer program.

We strongly encourage you to submit your application no later than February 1.
