2010 Summer Associate Positions

The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland is looking for 8-10 dedicated, hard-working, and public-interest minded students to work in four Northeast Ohio offices for our 2010 summer associate program. Summer associates are expected to work for at least 11 weeks and may work up to 13 weeks. Legal Aid is a nonprofit law firm focused on areas of consumer rights, disability, domestic violence, education, employment, family law, health, housing, immigration, public benefits, and tax.

Summer associates work in different areas of the law but all receive the opportunity to learn how to be excellent poverty lawyers. Generally, summer associates will interview clients, draft court pleadings, research relevant legal issues, attend and assist with court hearings and trials and analyze evidence. In addition, all summer associates will participate in weekly trainings on substantive areas of poverty law, observe oral arguments in the 8th District Court of Appeals and meet afterward with the judges involved. Brown bag lunches with current Legal Aid lawyers and community members including judges, politicians, and leaders of local non-profit agencies are also held on a weekly basis.
