Company/Organization: Responsive Law

Description:

Consumers for a Responsive Legal System (“Responsive Law”) is seeking interns for the 2021 Spring Semester.

Responsive Law is a national, nonprofit advocacy organization that works to improve accessibility, accountability, and affordability in the civil justice system. We advocate for more competition in the provision of legal services, better self-help options for the legal systems customers, and improved legal literacy for those customers.

Interns will work directly with the Executive Director and will engage in policy research in support of our advocacy efforts before state legislatures, bar associations, and supreme courts.

Interns who are available over 30 hours per week may intern for a single semester or for the entire academic year. Specific hours are flexible. Responsive Law is willing to work with students to receive course credit.

In light of the uncertainty around the coronavirus pandemic, we currently expect to offer internships remotely. There may be an opportunity for a portion of the internship to be in person, but we will not require anyone to do so.

Applicants should send a resume and letter of interest by email to interns@responsivelaw.org. For more information about the organization and its advocacy, visit www.responsivelaw.org.
