Description:
Vera?s Center on Immigration and Justice collaborates with government, nonprofits, and communities to develop evidence-based justice solutions for systems affecting immigrants and their families. The Center also addresses the challenges presented by the increasing convergence of the criminal justice and immigration systems. The Center on Immigration and Justice seeks a law student intern to work on the Legal Orientation Program (LOP).
The LOP was created to inform detained immigrants about their rights, and the immigration court and detention processes. On behalf of the federal government?s Executive Office for Immigration Review, Vera staff work with nonprofit legal service agencies to provide detained people at 27 sites nationwide with basic information about forms of relief from removal, how to represent themselves in immigration court, and how to get legal representation.
The Vera Institute of Justice runs an annual summer internship program for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students. Interns typically work full time in one of Vera?s departments or centers and programs; some part-time positions may be available. In addition to working on individual assignments, all interns participate in events organized by the internship coordinator. For example, last summer interns visited Rikers Correctional Facility, lunched with executive-level management, and visited Vera demonstration projects.
Applications are due January 15, 2013
