Community Legal Services of Philadelphia offers a summer internship program for approximately 15-20 students that have completed their first or second year of law school.
CLS offers a rich and exciting summer internship experience. Our law students receive exceptional training and the opportunity to work with some of the most talented legal minds in civil legal services.
Student interns at CLS will be placed into one of our seven legal units, the Youth Justice Project, or our Medical-Legal Partnership, and students will also learn about the other areas of CLS’s work through programming offered throughout the summer. All CLS interns will have the opportunity to work directly with clients, engage with the communities we serve, and contribute to systemic advocacy efforts to advance economic and racial equity. At CLS, we are actively engaged in dialogue regarding how legal services organizations can contribute to and advance racial justice for low-income communities. CLS’s Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer, supported by the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, structures this conversation as CLS continues to find ways to enhance its legal practice model. CLS is also committed to ensuring our staff, including our law student interns, reflect the clients and communities we serve. We strongly encourage law students from diverse backgrounds to apply for our internship. In your cover letter we invite you to tell us how your unique background and/or experiences can contribute to the diversity, vitality, and cultural perspective of our staff, clients, and legal practice. CLS also recognizes that the law student internship experience is a critical career steppingstone, as many of our former interns eventually go on to be selected as attorney fellows. CLS offers the Senator Roxanne Jones Fellowship and the Amber Racine Fellowship, which are awarded annually on a competitive basis to two law students of color who have accepted an offer to intern with CLS. Both Fellowships include a financial award and mentorship support to enable future leaders in public interest law to spend their summer interning at CLS.To apply for a summer internship please submit the following below by clicking " Apply Now "
