Founded in 1978 by the ABA Young Lawyers Division , the mission of the Center on Children and the Law is to improve the quality of life for children through advancements in law, justice and public policy.
Internships generally involve legal research and writing in the area of children's law.
Topics may include legal issues related to child abuse and neglect, foster care and adoption, child and adolescent health, parental abduction, and juvenile court improvement. Two to five during the school year, five to ten during the summer. Please note in your cover letter whether you are seeking a paid internship, are able to volunteer, are on work study, or think you can obtain academic credit or a public interest law stipend through your school. You will receive a postcard acknowledging receipt of your resume in the mail. Your application will be reviewed by Center staff who will contact you directly if they are in need of intern support.
