Legal Internship Program

Legal Voice's Legal Internship Program gives law students a unique opportunity to work in a non-profit legal setting while making a contribution to women's rights! As an intern, you will work closely with staff attorneys on current issues in women's rights law by researching legal issues, working on case development, investigating policy questions, and assisting in the preparation of written materials. You will also have a chance to help with our Information & Referral Phone Line, which is open to all Washington residents in need of legal help.
