HALT,
the nation's largest and
oldest legal reform
organization, is
dedicated to the
principle that all
Americans should be able
to handle their legal
affairs simply,
affordably and
equitably. Supported by
over 50,000 members,
HALT pursues an
aggressive education and
advocacy program that
challenges the legal
establishment to improve
America's civil justice
system. HALT also
provides basic legal
information to consumers
through a series of
self-help handbooks and
fact sheets. Interns
work on a variety of
projects: research and
writing, media advocacy,
public education and
membership development.
Please include
references with your
application.
HALT generally hires two to three interns during the fall and spring semesters and four interns for the summer. Full- and part-time internships are available. Interns work on all aspects of the organization's projects, including writing and research, education, legislation and advocacy efforts. Working closely with the program staff, each intern is responsible for one major research project during the semester, contributes at least one article to HALT's quarterly newsletter and has the opportunity to participate in its educational and advocacy projects.
