SENIORITY
Intern
About the role
The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law offers a spring 2027 in-person internship in our Washington, DC office. Law students will support Liberty and National Security policy advocacy, research, and litigation initiatives through legal research, drafting, and outreach activities.
We seek candidates with strong research, analysis, and writing skills and a demonstrated passion for democracy and constitutional protections.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
