Public Citizen Litigation Group,
a Washington, DC–based public interest law firm, is seeking two
to three summer law clerks for Summer 2007. The Litigation Group
is a division of Public Citizen, a research, lobbying, and
public advocacy organization with 100,000 members nationwide.
Our areas of practice include federal health and safety
regulation, consumer litigation, open government, union
democracy, separation of powers, representing objectors to
collusive or otherwise unlawful class action settlements, and
the First Amendment, including Internet free speech issues. We
litigate cases at all levels of the federal and state
judiciaries and have a substantial practice before federal
regulatory agencies and have argued over 50 cases in the US
Supreme Court.
Summer law clerks do research and write legal
memoranda for use in current Litigation Group cases, under the
supervision of the Group’s staff lawyers. Whenever possible, we
provide summer clerks with an opportunity to draft actual
litigation documents (such as briefs, complaints, or
affidavits). We involve law clerks in all Litigation Group
activities, such as participating in moot courts, attending
court hearings and Congressional hearings, and meeting with
clients. In short, summer clerks are an integral part of the
office.
