The Access to Justice Internship Program
provides a unique opportunity for law students to participate in an internship
with non-profit providers of civil legal services located in areas without a
local law school. Each law student will provide
direct legal services to low-income clients under the supervision of
accomplished lawyers, while learning about access to justice matters, legal
decision-making, advocacy skills, attorney-client relationships, and legal
institutions.
For the summer of 2013, the Commission will provide approximately 12 internships to law students. The internships will not be restricted solely to students attending law school in Texas; however priority will be given to students attending Texas law schools.
A stipend of $500/week (a lump sum of $5,000) will be provided to every student to help defray living expenses for the duration of the 10 week internship. The deadline to apply is March 1, 2013.
