Type: Law Student Internship, Unpaid
Location: New York
Job description:
The law student intern, under the supervision of Lambda Legal's Transgender Rights Attorney, will assist primarily with advancing Lambda Legal's transgender civil rights work
Qualifications:
Because of the focused and challenging nature of the work Lambda Legal does, we prefer to hire law students who have some experience with transgender issues. Thus, a background in or familiarity with issues, legal or otherwise, important to transgender people will greatly strengthen an application. Commitment to public interest law also greatly strengthens an application. Lambda Legal encourages applications from transgender people, people of color, and people with disabilities, including HIV. The ability to speak additional languages, especially Spanish, is a plus.
