Now accepting internship applications (Deadline today)
on Apr 28, 2017 at 11:11 am
SCOTUSblog is still accepting applications from current law students interested in interning with us. The principal focus of the internship (which is a paid one) will be assisting with the “Petition of the day” and “Petitions to watch” features on the blog and maintaining the case pages. This will require roughly 10 to 20 hours of work a week on a generally flexible work schedule, which can be accomplished remotely. The position will begin in early to mid-May, and the expected commitment would be through May 2018.
To qualify for the position, you must:
* Have a strong academic record
* Be currently enrolled in a J.D. or LL.M program (undergraduates are not eligible)
* Have excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
* Be able to work independently on deadline
* Have a strong interest in learning about the U.S. Supreme Court and its workings
* Have some experience working with (or at least interest in) blog or website technology
To apply, please send us the following materials:
* Cover letter
* Resume
* Contact information for two references
* A writing sample of no more than five double-spaced pages that has not been edited by anyone other than you
* An official or unofficial law school transcript
Application materials should be sent to Andrew Hamm (ahamm@scotusblog.com) and Molly Runkle (mrunkle@scotusblog.com). Materials must be received by April 28 for consideration.
