Remote Summer 2024 Legal Internships

Free Speech For People is accepting applications for 2024 summer internships in our Legal Advocacy Program. We are seeking rising 2Ls or 3Ls, who are dedicated to public interest work, write well, and are excited to work for a non-profit leading cutting-edge legal initiatives. Con Law (especially First Amendment) is a plus but not essential.

You might be researching impact litigation, or working on an amicus brief, or drafting legislation, or creating educational resources. Or something totally different. But you definitely won’t just be doing doc review.

We are accepting applications from students anywhere in the United States. The internship can be carried out remotely; for interns who are in or near Boston, Massachusetts we can offer a hybrid option in our Newton office.

Public Interest Legal Fellow

Free Speech For People is seeking a post-graduate legal fellow (either a current 3L, judicial clerk, or public interest fellow at another public interest organization), preferably with constitutional law, social justice, and/or election law experience, to join a cutting-edge non-profit fighting for democracy for a one-year fully-funded legal fellowship with potential, contingent on funding, to extend.

We are seeking a public interest-minded legal fellow to fight for democracy, starting in September 2024. Specific projects will emerge and evolve and job duties will vary over time. The day-to-day will likely center on:

  • litigation (writing or assisting with briefs and/or working with outside counsel in affirmative litigation, amicus briefs, and/or defensive litigation if laws that we help pass are challenged in court),
  • legislation (drafting; grassroots and direct lobbying; testifying; and organizing supportive testimony), and
  • legal support for the organization’s advocacy before administrative agencies.

Job duties may also include occasional media interviews; public speaking; writing op-eds; organizing panels, symposia, or similar events; and working with our campaign and communications teams on our grassroots campaigns.
