COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
We work in deep partnership with frontline communities to eliminate environmental hazards and expand access to environmental benefits. Together with our community partners, we challenge harmful social and political systems while striving to improve the environmental health of neighborhoods across the country. Our work is rooted in community-led movements and powered by a broad spectrum of advocacy tools aimed at disrupting the status quo. We represent impacted communities in holding polluters accountable for threats to health, safety, and quality of life; closing dangerous regulatory loopholes; demanding transparency and access to information; and enforcing environmental laws at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure meaningful protections for all.
ABOUT US
Founded in 1971, Earthjustice has a distinguished track record of achieving significant, lasting environmental protections. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people’s health; preserve magnificent places and wildlife; advance clean energy; and combat climate change. We partner with thousands of groups and supporters to take on the biggest, most precedent-setting cases across the country and have a distinguished track record of achieving significant, lasting environmental protections. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.
We welcome all interested law students from across the country to apply for a summer law clerk position. We expect that students will work proximate to or in an office where the program is located.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Summer Law Clerks will have the opportunity to work with several attorneys on case development and litigation strategy. Students may draft pleadings and briefs, do legal research, develop strategy and legal theories, gather evidence, and attend client meetings and court proceedings. Earthjustice’s summer law clerk program also includes various programmatic offerings, such as in-person and virtual seminars with attorneys and guest speakers on current environmental issues, interactions with other local and regional environmental groups, and a job interview workshop.
COMPENSATION
Earthjustice summer law clerkships are paid positions. The total stipend amount will be dependent on any external funding a student secures, such as through their law school’s summer funding program. Earthjustice will provide a one-time stipend at the start of the clerkship in the amount of $1,382.00 per week, minus the total amount received from any other sources and applicable taxes. The summer law clerkship is designed to be 10 weeks long at full-time hours (37.5 hours/week).
You are welcome to pursue outside funding. The ability to secure outside funding will not be considered as part of the hiring process.
