We are currently accepting applications for the fall 2024 and spring 2025 semesters. We are no longer accepting applications for our summer 2024 internship program, but we encourage you to apply for the fall.

We are always looking for talented law school students for spring, summer, and fall internships/ externships.

Interns can expect to research substantive legal issues, draft formal memorandums on issues, and draft portions of briefs. We have multiple cases pending at the district court and appellate level, and interns can gain valuable substantive experience and make a real contribution to our cases.

Interns/ externs should expect to work remotely. However, interns located in the D.C. area may have the opportunity to meet together in person and attend hearings.

To apply, please email a resume, cover letter, brief writing sample (5-10 pages double spaced) and law school transcript to acollingsworth@iradvocates.org, cc tc@iradvocates.org. Cover letters should be addressed to Mr. Terrence Collingsworth.

For 1L students, if your first semester grades are not yet available, please send us your application and supplement it later when grades become available.

We review applications and interview candidates on a rolling basis (first come, first served). Therefore, we recommend sending us your applications by the following deadlines:

Fall externships: August 1st

Spring externships: January 1st

Summer Internships: February 1st

All internships are unpaid, but we can offer any assistance to secure school funding or school credit. This public interest internship may also qualify for pro bono credit hours where applicable.

Please see this attachment for more information.

We are currently seeking candidates for post law school fellowships for one or two year positions and will work with you to secure funding from your school and/or third party sources. Please contact us at acollingsworth@iradvocates.org, cc tc@iradvocates.org if you are interested in applying. Please include your resume with your email.
