The Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Law & Social Policy (Warren Institute) at the
UC Berkeley Law School is a multi-disciplinary research center that tackles the most pressing issues in education, civil rights, criminal and juvenile justice, immigration, work/family and healthcare facing California and the nation. The Institute engages a wide range of legal and policy issues within these 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 independence, quality and credibility of the academic enterprise.
The Warren Institute is currently seeking students to assist with programs in voting rights, education, immigration, and criminal justice.
Spring Semester 2012 Internships: the Warren Institute seeks students interested in working on our current projects for approximately 10 hours per week. Positions are both paid and unpaid (depending on the project funding).
Summer 2012 Internships: In 2012, the Warren Institute will host a small number of full-time summer interns. Our summer internship program provides an excellent opportunity to gain meaningful hands-on experience working on cutting edge issues and to work with leading scholars and advocates in the field. Most internships are unpaid, but we are willing to assist students seeking funding from other sources. We will sponsor 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 law school and will start a judicial clerkship in the fall.
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 internship, please forward a resume, cover letter, and references to Elaine Mui at emui@law.berkeley.edu. Application deadline for the spring semester have been extended to January 27, 2011. Applications for summer 2012 are due by February 1, 2012.
