EFF is currently accepting applications for the fall 2007 internship program.

Interns assist in all aspects of litigation, including legal research, factual investigation, and drafting of memoranda and briefs, while also helping with policy research, client counseling, and the development of public education materials. EFF's docket ranges across the technological and legal landscape, from online fair use of copyrighted materials to electronic voting to the PATRIOT Act; take a look at http://www.eff.org/legal/victories/ or http://www.eff.org/legal/active_legal.html for details about EFF work preserving constitutional values in the digital world.

Summer internships are full-time, 40 hours per week minimum, and last 10-14 weeks. School-year internships are part-time, 16 hours per week minimum, and last 10-12 weeks. Internships are available at EFF offices in San Francisco for all legal issues and in Washington, D.C. for work with our FLAG project focusing on FOIA requests and litigation. EFF does not offer remote internships. Internships are generally unpaid; therefore arrangements should be made with the student's law school for work/study stipends. In addition, some small stipends for summer internships may be available on the basis of need through the generous sponsorship of Day Casebeer Madrid & Batchelder LLP.

Qualifications
Law students of all levels are encouraged to apply, including students enrolled in non-US schools. Applicants should have a demonstrated interest in and enthusiasm for civil liberties or technology-related legal issues, along with excellent research and writing skills and the initiative and energy to see projects to completion in a fast-moving environment.

Application
Send an email to legalinterns@eff.org with the subject line "Intern Applicant: [Your Name]." EFF would like a single email with your resume and writing sample attached, as .doc, .pdf, .rtf or .txt files; no WordPerfect, please. The body of the email should contain your "cover letter," explaining why you want to work with EFF and why we should want to work with you, followed by three references. Note that writing samples on civil liberties and/or intellectual property issues are highly preferred.
