Mission and Projects

The Native American Law Internship provides an opportunity for a Native American Law Student, or Law Student emphasizing Native American Law the opportunity to gain hands-on experience dealing with everyday legal issues facing the Native American Community. The intern will be exposed to matters that deal with specific Indian law related legal practice matters and other legal problems which do not raise inter-tribal or intra-tribal issues. The intern will assist in legal research on various Native American matters for Tribal Clients and pro bono matters affecting Indian country and gain experience working in a law firm. Projects may include the development of programs for Tribes that they can use in their governmental operations, including Tribal Histories, Program Audits and development, strategies for cultural resource protection and legislative and rulemaking review and analysis. There will be a single annual internship position which will typically last 8 to 10 weeks during the summer months. Applicants must have completed at least their first year of law school prior to beginning the internship. Internships are paid a stipend of $700 per week.
