Clinical Law Office Work Study Positions

Deadline: March 30, 2012


The Clinical Law Office is seeking two or three summer work study students who are SJC 3:03 certified or eligible. We will give preference to students who will have completed the Lawyering Process, Public Interest Law Seminar and Clinic or Family Law Clinic before the summer, or have similar legal services experience in domestic relations, and/or benefits work.

Responsibilities will include opening the office at 9:00 am and closing the office at 4:30 pm each day, and representing low income clients in domestic relations, unemployment, and social security cases under the supervision of Clinical Faculty. The student will be allowed to represent clients in court and at administrative hearings when possible. The position will include research and drafting pleadings, correspondence, direct client contact, and the customary day-to-day tasks required for administrative case management.

Successful applicants must be work study eligible. If you are interested in the position, but have not applied for work study, you should do so immediately. The work study deadline is April 12, but our understanding from the Financial Aid Office is that earlier, completed applications might receive a higher priority, so we urge you not to wait until the last minute to apply.

Please submit resume or letter of application immediately to Maria Chang at the Clinical Law Office (617-422-7380); 46 Church Street; mchang@nesl.edu).
