ALERT, job available: internship opportunity with the ACLU in california.

[petra]

Don’t know what you’re doing next summer?

The ACLU of Southern California is accepting applications from law students interested in national security and immigrant rights litigation for its 2010 summer internship.

The ACLU office has nine lawyers total and brings in 15 to 20 interns each summer for a variety of cases.

Right now, attorney Ahilan Arulanantham, who directs the national security and immigrant rights projects, is looking for four to five candidates. He has a preference for second-years, but says he routinely hires first-years. Interns work closely with lawyers on cases.

“We’re relatively resource-poor; the people here tend to be the primary attorney in charge of a case,” he said. “The interns work directly with somebody who plays a big role in it.”

Last summer, for instance, an intern joined in on settlement negotiations with the government in a federal litigation challenging the conditions at an immigration detention center. Another intern, who was fluent in Farsi, worked on a criminal terrorism case, Arulanantham said.

Interns can be paid a modest stipend of up to $800, though Arulanantham says ACLU has only offered pay when a student had no other source of funding. Now, he said, most students get funding through their law school public interest programs.

All this led to the interesting spectacle of well-dressed middle-class heads popping up as if out of nowhere, puce with the effort of squatting on their haunches trying to find what they were looking for.

The email came out this morning at 12:11am, so I haven't had time to talk with any fellow students, but my guess is that they will be thrilled with the change. It's unfortunate that the current outgoing 1L class had to suffer through the last year of harsh grades, but the positive news is that the next two years will be a little better. With all this excitement how can I possibly study for my crim exam at 1:30? Oh yeah, the old grading system will determine my grade...

There is my motivation.

Thanks for all of the hard work on this web site. I admit, I have not been on this website in a long time, however it was joy to find it again. It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals! I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
