Northwest Justice Project

Hey, law students! We have new open positions for law clerks, legal interns, legal externs, and fellows. Under the supervision of highly experienced staff attorneys, law students will serve as part of a statewide team of legal services advocates who work cooperatively, with other providers, in bringing high quality representation to the State's indigent population. Dependent on the office, substantive priorities may include family law, housing, consumer, employment, public benefits and education. Law students will experience the realities of a legal services office as they aid the attorneys with legal research, interview and advise clients, and assist in case planning. Law students may also help develop self-help materials for pro-se litigants, training materials for staff and clients and work on other special projects depending on the needs of the office. Externships for credit during the school year are also available. ??
