NAACP Legal Defense Fund Summer 2010 Internship

Greetings BLSA: Here is a link and more information on this internship opportunity:
http://www.naacpldf.org/content/pdf/jobs/Internship_Summer_2010.pdf

The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF)* is currently accepting law
student internship applications for Summer 2010. Summer interns will be responsible for legal
research and memorandum writing, factual investigation, development of educational and
outreach material, discovery review, and/or other needs that may arise during the summer.
Intern assignments are dependent on the needs of LDF’s legal staff during the summer months.
Summer interns in the New York office will also enjoy a weekly series of brown bag luncheons
featuring prominent civil rights and public interest attorneys, attended by interns from numerous
non-profit, legal organizations in the city.

The internship positions are unpaid and limited in number. Students should seek summer
funding from their law schools and student-run public interest organizations. Although we prefer
second-year law students, exceptional first-year law students will also be considered. Interns are
expected to work for at least ten weeks during the summer, but split summers may be
accommodated on a case-by-case basis.

The New York and D.C. offices award internships independently. Applicants should send a
cover letter, resume, 5-10 page writing sample, and list of three references to the appropriate
office below. Positions will be filled on a rolling basis; we encourage applicants to apply as soon
as possible beginning October 2009, and no later than January 2010.
