The Liberty Justice Center offers a rich educational opportunity for students to contribute to a cutting-edge public interest law firm through a remote communications internship.
The Liberty Justice Center (LJC) is a national nonprofit, nonpartisan public interest litigation center that represents clients at no charge. LJC is not your typical public interest law firm—we focus only on precedent-setting work and take on only specific types of cases that we believe will achieve the most good for everyday Americans. We are litigating in more than three dozen states to protect the Constitution and America’s founding principles. Our litigation focuses on free speech, educational opportunity, government overreach, and workers’ rights, particularly those related to our victory in the landmark 2018 U.S. Supreme Court case Janus v. AFSCME.
Successful applicants have a strong work ethic and the drive and willingness to put in the work to get the job done. They share a commitment to classical liberal principles, including individual liberty, limited government, and the free market.
Communications interns are responsible for tasks including:
- Doing in-depth research
- Assisting in the development of press releases
- Maintaining a media database
- Tracking media hits
Students studying English, communications, marketing, politics, or related majors are especially encouraged to apply, but students of any major will be considered.
Summer interns are expected to work between 20 and 40 hours a week. Fall and spring interns are expected to work between 6 and 10 hours a week but may work more if desired—we will work with students to provide a schedule that accommodates their academic obligations.
Liberty Justice Center interns are paid $20 an hour. Interns work remotely.
Summer interns generally work from May through August, though exact start and stop dates are flexible in most circumstances. Please send a cover letter, resume, transcript, and two writing samples to Ceanna Daniels at [email protected]. Your cover letter should include whether you are applying for a summer or academic semester internship and why you would be a great addition to the Liberty Justice Center team.
Summer internship applications are due by April 30.
Fall internship applications are due by August 31.
Spring internship applications are due by December 15.
