Center for Disability & Elder Law

Hybrid Legal Intern

The Center for Disability & Elder Law (CDEL) hosts Legal Interns each academic year and during summer months. For Summer 2026, the Legal Intern will participate in a hybrid, full-time internship opportunity, and CDEL will provide training and supervision for the student. Applicants should be a rising second or rising third year law student.

For Summer 2026, we currently anticipate that interns will work both in-office and remotely. Opportunities to participate in CDEL community clinics, workshops, the guardianship help desk and the recorder's division help desk may be available. Internship activities will be available depending on health and safety recommendations.

The Legal Internship is unpaid. However, in addition to working with law schools offering externship credit, there may be funding options available for CDEL Legal Interns through law schools or outside agencies.

Interns will be responsible for managing cases and a client case load under supervision. Interns participate in all aspects of client files, including screening, intake, document review and full representation. The student will gain experience in the following practice areas and develop the stated skills:

Practice Areas:

Estate planning

Guardianship

Housing

Collections

Financial Abuse

Family Law

Skills:

Interviewing candidates for service

Document review

Direct legal assistance (under supervision)

Litigation (under supervision)

Students interested in Elder Law, Disability Law, Public Interest and Housing Law are especially encouraged to apply.

CDEL is an equal opportunity employer and a welcoming community that engages, encourages and empowers those who are members of underrepresented communities. CDEL is a dedicated advocate for our clients who hold many diverse identities and experiences across race, color, sex, age, religion, class, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge, source of income, housing status and gender identity. We believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized and underrepresented communities to apply for this position.

Applications are reviewed as they are received.
