Description:

INTERNING AT THE ACLU OF INDIANA

For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s protecting immigrants’ rights, achieving full equality for the LGBTQ community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, record of arrest or conviction. The ACLU of Indiana is a statewide affiliate of the national ACLU.

LEGAL INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW

The ACLU of Indiana seeks two legal interns for the summer of 2025. Interns will support the daily work of the Legal Department and gain insight into the ways we defend and protect our clients’ liberties through client advocacy and litigation. This opportunity requires a minimum weekly commitment of 30 hours between 9:00am and 5:00pm, Monday – Friday. Although interns do not need to seek credit with their law schools, we certainly encourage them to pursue that option if they wish. The 2025 summer internship cohort is scheduled to run from May 27th through July 28th and applicants should expect to commit to the full session.

Requirements:
