The ACLU of Georgia welcomes legal interns for Summer 2027. Legal Externs must be in law school and will be expected to commit approximately 40 hours per week to the internship.
Legal Externs will be expected to perform legal research, draft legal memoranda, and potentially legal briefs and other documents, and be otherwise available to support the ACLU of Georgia’s litigation activities. The internship is designed for those who are interested in pursuing a career in public interest litigation.
Applicants should have strong research, writing, and communication skills and a demonstrated interest in civil liberties and civil rights. All applicants must submit a resume, cover letter, and writing sample.
The ACLU of Georgia operates in a hybrid work environment. Interns are expected to work in person at the Atlanta office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week. Remote work is permitted on other days, provided job responsibilities are met.
