National Litigation Project seeks Summer Fellows

Two summer fellowships are available with the National Litigation Project of the Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law School. These fellowships would provide the opportunity to work closely NLP attorneys on all aspects of human rights-related litigation in U.S. courts, particularly claims arising out of counterterrorism policies, both here and abroad.

The NLP Summer Fellows will be active participants in the NLP’s work, including (1) litigating the NLP’s current docket of complex civil liberties cases ranging from the abuse of immigration authority to justice for torture victims; (2) conducting original research central to ongoing policy debates; and (3) developing public educational materials regarding the impact of U.S. counterterrorism tactics on human rights at the local, national and international levels. Student law interns will work closely with supervising attorneys on all of these matters. In the past, summer interns have participated in all levels, including arguing motions and taking depositions.
