Looking For An Internship In Miami?

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in Miami is looking for three law students interested in Civil Rights & Liberties, Racial Justice Issues, Employment/Labor, and Legislative/Policy Issues for an unpaid summer internship.

The EEOC Summer Program offers law students the opportunity to work closely with EEOC trial attorneys in the development of employment discrimination cases. Typical assignments for legal interns include legal research and writing, assistance with hearing or trial preparation, and investigatory follow-up on cases.

What Is Government & Public Interest Work?

In 2008, approximately 33% of Florida Coastal's graduating class entered into a government or public interest position. The broad categories of public interest and government encompass a large spectrum of positions on the local, city, state, and national arenas. Positions can range from work in a public defender's office, the ACLU, or Earthjustice to opportunities at the U.S. Attorney's Office, the National Women's Law Center, or the World Organization for Human Rights. The career possibilities within the government or public interest entity are endless and should be considered by anyone looking for meaningful work and the opportunity to make a difference.
