Legal Undergraduate Intern | Brady



Legal Undergraduate Intern
Location: Washington, DC
Salary: $17.50 per hour
Closing Date: November 1


Each year, 40,000 people in the U.S. die from gun violence. We can change that. No organization has a more comprehensive and systematic approach to ending America’s gun violence epidemic. They say it can't be done. But we know Americans can do anything. Even end this epidemic of gun violence. For we are more powerful than any problem when we work as one. Now is the time to unite people, from coast to coast, young and old, liberal and conservative, fed up and fired up, and free our country from what is killing us. It's in our hands.

Job Summary:

Interns will take on a variety of projects critical for the development and litigation of potential and current cases with our Affirmative Litigation team, as well as become involved in our constitutional space. They will work closely with Brady lawyers to draft memos on assigned topics, conduct factual research, and delve into some of the most rapidly developing areas of law. They will garner knowledge of several of our current gun industry accountability cases and Second Amendment amicus portfolio. They will become part of the innovative and academically stimulating environment that helps to create strong gun violence prevention precedent throughout the country.

 

Interns will gain hands-on litigation experience and will support all phases of legal advocacy, including developing new cases, helping prepare for trial and depositions, assisting with discovery, monitoring and exploring developments in gun violence litigation, and conducting research. Aimed at ending chronic violence that perpetuates cycles of poverty, most of our litigation is working to deter gun suppliers’ exploitation of low-income communities. Our interns support civil suits against the gun industry’s distribution of firearms to dealers despite knowing that those dealers will sell guns to traffickers, allow straw purchases, and fail to conduct proper background checks.

 

Interns will also have the opportunity to help conduct research for amicus briefs and track and analyze constitutional law issues (including the Second Amendment). Finally, our interns would be able to assist in our racial justice research.

 

Brady is looking for undergraduate students who are passionate about gun violence prevention, impact litigation, and racial justice.

*To be considered for an internship, you must apply directly through our online application here.* 

You will help our criminal justice team roll back unconstitutional overcriminalization, restore accountability for police and prosecutors who violate people’s rights, and challenge the scourge of plea-driven mass adjudication. As an intern in Cato’s Project on Criminal Justice, you will work with leading scholars and activists on researching legal briefs, responding to the many injustices perpetrated by the criminal justice system, and supporting legislative outreach efforts.

Cato’s scholars address a wide range of constitutional and legal issues—including federalism, property rights, civil liberties, criminal law and procedure, qualified immunity, civil asset forfeiture, and the Second Amendment, to name a few. Cato expects the judiciary to be the “bulwark” of our liberties, as James Madison put it, neither making up nor ignoring the law but interpreting and applying it through the natural rights tradition we inherited from the Founding generation.

About the Cato Internship Program

Cato’s paid internships are for undergraduates, recent graduates, graduate students, law students, and early-career professionals who have a strong commitment to individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace—principles that, taken together, constitute libertarianism, known alternately as “classical liberalism,” “market liberalism,” or, to many of our international friends, just “liberalism.” 

All Cato interns attend the same intensive seminar series, which covers a broad range of history, philosophy, policy, and professional development topics. Interns also aid with events and occasionally help Cato staff with other day-to-day needs. 

Interns receive competitive compensation. Part-time positions are adjusted accordingly and carry a minimum of 25 hrs./wk. Program participants must be available in person in Washington, D.C.  

For more information about the internship program and experience, we encourage you to explore our website.
