Special Projects/Special Litigation Internship w/ Arlington County Public Defender

The Office of the Public Defender for Arlington County and the City of Falls Church, VA, is seeking three Special Projects/Special Litigation Interns to perform a combination of data collection, data analysis, social science research, and writing, in support of special litigation related to structural inequities in the criminal justice system. This is an unpaid, temporarily remote internship.

The ideal candidate will have experience with statistics and data analysis, and will be comfortable working with spreadsheets (e.g. Microsoft Excel). Because the position may require considerable work with court records, the qualified candidate will be focused, self-motivated, detail-oriented, and possess excellent time management and organizational skills. A strong belief in equal justice and social justice is essential to success in this position. Knowledge of the criminal justice system is beneficial, but candidates need not have prior legal education or training.
