| [Newark, NJ] - This site has
been in operation since 1997. Law students will assist the
organization in various tasks. In the public policy area,
interns will research issues that effect runaway and
homeless youth, draft legislation to address those issues,
garner support for policy initiatives and create avenues
to educate the public about the clients served. Work will
range from research projects and technical legal writing
to phone calls and follow-up faxes. In the direct service
area, students will aid in intake, assisting youth with
legal questions that do not rise to the level of a
litigated case. Interns could also appear with clients in
court to clear warrants or to appear for a juvenile court
date as their special advocate. Additionally, law students
could aid clients with eligibility requirements of public
benefits laws.
Eligibility: All law students.
Schedule: To be arranged. |
