RUOLO

Clean Air Task Force is seeking summer legal interns who share an interest in navigating the climate crisis through high-impact legal advocacy. Legal interns will work as members of CATF’s legal team on interesting and rewarding legal work that adds value to the organization’s mission. Students who are currently enrolled in law school are eligible to apply. Internships are intended to be full-time and span a duration of 10 weeks over the summer term.

The work of the Clean Air Task Force Legal team takes two primary forms: guiding our technical experts through state and federal advocacy, including on agency rulemakings and other policy advocacy, and litigating in federal court to promote strong environmental regulation and address the impacts of climate change. Topically, our work spans the following areas: methane pollution prevention, transportation decarbonization, power plants, superhot rock geothermal, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, land systems, clean energy infrastructure, and advanced nuclear energy.

Funzioni e responsabilità principali:

Legal interns will have the opportunity to work with several attorneys on case development and litigation, as well as with technical experts on matters of policy. Students may draft pleadings and briefs, conduct legal research, develop strategy and legal theories, gather evidence, and attend client meetings, court proceedings, and internal program meetings. The summer program will also offer programming with CATF attorneys and with guest speakers on current environmental issues and career paths in environmental law, as well as opportunities to interact with partner organizations.
