The Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Race, Ethnicity and Diversity is accepting applications for its 2010 Summer Internship Program

The Warren Institute is a multidisciplinary, collaborative venture to produce research, research-based policy prescriptions, and curricular innovation on issues of racial and ethnic justice in California and the nation.

The Institute’s mission is to engage the most difficult topics related to civil rights, race and ethnicity in a wide range of legal and public policy subject areas, providing valuable intellectual capital to public and private sector leaders, the media and the general public, while advancing scholarly understanding. Central to its methods are concerted efforts to build bridges connecting the world of research with the world of civic action and policy debate so that each informs the other, while preserving the independence, quality and credibility of the academic enterprise.

The Warren Institute has established itself as an important interlocutor in some of today’s most pressing legal and political topics. We currently operate programs dealing with voting rights, education, health, and immigration. Our activities include research, policy development, and advocacy. Each year, we hold a number of convenings on salient civil rights issues that bring national civil rights leaders to campus.

Summer Internships: In 2010, the Warren Institute will host a small number of Summer Interns. Summer Interns will have substantial responsibility researching civil rights problems and developing policy reforms to address them. Our summer internship program provides an excellent opportunity to gain meaningful hands-on experience working on cutting edge civil rights issues and to work with leading scholars and advocates in the field. We will consider two types of summer interns:

Legal summer internships: Open to students who have completed at least their first year of law school. We may consider individuals who have graduated and will start a judicial clerkship.

Social science summer internships: Open to graduate students who have completed at least one year of graduate study, including quantitative analysis coursework or other high level analytical skills.

To apply for a summer internship, please forward a resume, cover letter, and references to Elaine Mui at emui@law.berkeley.edu. Applications are due by January 29, 2010.
