We are dedicated to protecting children’s health, clean air, clean water and non-toxic public lands. We work with city councils, school boards, state legislatures, federal agencies and other groups collaboratively for positive changes.
We have unpaid, flexible, remote intern opportunities for law school students who will be directly supervised and able to receive community service hours and/or academic credit. We work throughout the nation and the world on projects and initiatives.
Our law school interns will assist with advocating for clean air, clean water and a non-toxic environment through education and collaboration.
The interns will assist with writing legislation, resolutions, ordinances and public comments to local, state, federal and international agencies.
Interns will meet with clients, opposing counsel or agency officials, review administrative records and develop expert testimony, draft briefs and may present arguments at administrative and judicial hearings. Interns will also review ongoing litigation at the local, state, federal and international level.
