OVERVIEW : LANWT seeks dynamic, self-starting law students who have vision, initiative, and a demonstrated commitment to public interest law benefiting low-income communities for its Community Revitalization Project (CRP) at various locations throughout its service area. Law clerks will be responsible for assisting attorneys in providing legal services, advocacy, and transaction work in the following areas of community revitalization :

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES : Law clerks work with attorneys on case development, outreach, and litigation. Under the supervision of an attorney, a law clerk’s primary responsibilities are to perform legal and factual research, assist with community education, and to develop case strategies and legal theories. Law clerks may also have the opportunity to assist attorneys with preparing legal documents, attend administrative and / or court proceedings, and to meet with clients and experts. Clerks will be afforded the opportunity to work alongside the state’s most prominent advocates in the fields of affordable fair housing, environmental law, and community development.
