Legal Clerk / Civil Rights Intern
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Summer Internship, Internship (Fall or Spring Part-Time), Winter/January Term Internship
Washington, District of Columbia (United States)

Legal interns at the Council on American-Islamic Relations handle a wide variety of work. Most of this work falls under two categories:
(1) Case management: Interns take shifts handling the intake line for civil rights complaints. Interns are responsible for handling individual cases and performing advocacy short of litigation. For example, interns will work with victims of discrimination to draft letters and EEOC complaints.


(2) Research assistance: Interns write legal memos on topics connected to CAIR's pending civil rights litigation. For example, topics may include religious discrimination by law enforcement and the terror watchlist statutory regime. Interns will discuss their research with staff attorneys to help develop creative approaches to litigation.
