About the Entity:
The ABA's Commission on Immigration is seeking talented law clerks and interns to assist in cutting-edge national advocacy work for immigrants, refugees and newcomers to this nation. Law clerks (law students) and interns (undergraduates) will have the exceptional opportunity to participate in research and development of various policy initiatives to ensure that immigration laws respect the due process rights of immigrants, to benefit adult and children immigrants and refugees detained by the ICE, and to promote pro bono practices across the country.

Through your work, you will hone your legal research, writing and advocacy knowledge and skills and gain in-depth experience in immigration policy work. Clerkships and internships provide exceptional experience for developing a career in the field of immigration or human rights.
