If interested in applying, please stop by the Office of Law Career Services and pick up a prospectus which describes the position, the application procedure, and includes an application form. The Appalachian Research and Defense Fund is seeking law clerks for the summer of 2001 in its nine area offices to assist attorneys in all phases of client representation and program work. Student interns conduct research, interview witnesses, draft briefs, and handle a variety of tasks under the direction of program attorneys. They are seeking at least one clerk who would update the program's black lung benefits manual. Students must provide their own funding, although work study and similar arrangements with a sponsoring institution will be considered.
Some funds are available to assist with travel.
