The Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC) is seeking interns and externs for summer 2021.

CLINIC is the largest charitable immigration legal service network in the country that provides advocacy support, legal expertise, and technical assistance to over 380 legal services organizations nationwide.  

Interns will assist attorneys with a variety of research, writing, and advocacy projects as part of our efforts to remedy problems faced by immigrants and support state and local advocacy in favor of immigrant integration and against anti-immigrant measures.  Now is a particularly exciting time in the field of immigration law due to new critical changes in immigration policies at both the federal and state levels.  Intern responsibilities may include:

• Reviewing and analyzing federal and state regulations and policy guidance
• Drafting comments on federal regulations
• Supporting pro bono affiliates in immigration appeals
• Developing public education and training materials
• Assisting legal service providers with individual case inquiries
• Collaborating with non-profit partners on advocacy initiatives
• Attending meetings with government agencies, hearings, and other events

Applicants must have strong writing, research, and communication skills and excellent attention to detail. These internships are ideal for law students and college graduates considering a career in public policy or advocacy. 

If interested, please email a cover letter, resumé, and writing sample to advocacy@cliniclegal.org. Include “Summer 2021 Intern” in the title. All intern/extern positions are unpaid. Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis. Approximate hours are 30 hours each week.

This position will begin summer 2021 and going forward will be remote until further notice.  CLINIC is looking for two interns for federal work, and one intern for the  State & Local Immigration Project.
