ACLU-Northern California Spring and Summer 2017 Law & Policy Internship Program

The ACLU of Northern California invites applications for Spring and Summer 2017 internships in its Legal-Policy Department. Internships are full- or part-time, generally requiring a 16–24 hours per week commitment. Interns will be eligible for Law School field placement credit. Students must commit to working all semester (12–14 weeks). The ACLU prefers that part-time interns commit to work full work days (i.e., two eight-hour days rather than four four-hour days) and recommends that students commit as many days a week as possible for the best internship experience. (For details about field placement credits, contact Sue Schechter, sschechter@law.berkeley.edu.)
