General Externship

General Externship

The General Extern will support CLA attorneys in providing sliding-scale legal services to low- and moderate-income clients across a broad range of civil matters, including housing, family law, probate, wage theft, immigration and more.

Externs will conduct initial intake interviews, screen for eligibility, gather relevant facts, and assess case merits. They will maintain records in CLA's database, follow up with potential clients, and report findings to supervising attorneys. Additional responsibilities include legal research, drafting pleadings and discovery, preparing court filings, and attending client meetings and court proceedings.

This is a valuable opportunity for students interested in public interest law and gaining experience across multiple practice areas.
