Job Description
Description:
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan; grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. We empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation at the local, state, and national levels.
The LWV Litigation Team partners with state and local Leagues in all their federal legal advocacy and supports them in state-level legal advocacy on issues related to voter protection, money in politics, redistricting, reproductive justice, and more. The Litigation team also coordinates with other LWV departments to ensure the League's legal advocacy is aligned with the League's legislative priorities, mission, vision, and values.
Description
We are seeking legal interns to work with the Litigation Team, within the Activation and Justice department, on a variety of voting rights and social justice issues. Interns may choose to work remotely.
Under the supervision of the legal director, the legal intern’s work plan will include a mixture of assignments that support the League’s litigation, legal advocacy, and policy work.
Legal interns support the Litigation Team in developing and active litigation by preparing legal memoranda, attending meetings with League leaders and co-counsel, drafting blogs, and more. Legal interns may also support the League’s policy work, but the focus of the internship will be on the League’s litigation and legal advocacy.
Credit: Internships will qualify for academic credit through the student’s school where available.
