Job description

Position: U.S. Fall Legal Internship
Location: Based in Washington D.C., with remote work available anywhere in the U.S
Reports to: U.S. Staff Attorneys
Pay: Unpaid. ERI is unable to provide a salary, stipend, or housing assistance, but will work with you to arrange course credit or a stipend through your school
Prerequisite: This internship is only available to law students who can receive course credit for their internship from their law school.
Starts: Fall 2026


Application Deadline: Rolling until July 15, 2026


EarthRights International, a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization that combines the power of law and the power of people in defense of human rights and the environment, is seeking fall interns for our District of Columbia office.


ERI's U.S. Fall Legal Interns are law students able to work full-time or part-time for at least 10-12 weeks during the fall semester. Legal interns provide legal research, writing, and program support for ERI activities all over the world. Law students may be J.D. or LL.M. students, but must have at least one year of U.S. legal training by the time of the internship.


Over the past 30 years, ERI has built a reputation as one of the leading legal organizations representing communities and individuals from around the world whose rights, livelihoods and homelands are harmed by corporations, financial institutions and governments. Our lawyers have worked closely with our clients, co-counsel, partner NGOs, campaigners and others to bring groundbreaking lawsuits and pursue legal advocacy to provide remedies and ensure legal accountability. Our cases have set legal precedents, brought millions of dollars of compensation to our clients, and changed the behavior of corporations and other institutions; one of our cases involving environmental harms to communities in India, Jam v. International Finance Corporation, was argued at the U.S. Supreme Court and set important precedent for future accountability of international financial institutions. Another, Doe v. Chiquita Brands International, resulted in the first U.S. jury finding of liability for human rights abuses abroad.


Legal interns participate in various projects associated with many of our cases, including legal research, writing and assistance in all phases of litigation. Interns also contribute to other legal work including development of new cases, monitoring and exploring developments in human rights and environmental law, researching and utilizing other mechanisms of corporate accountability, and helping to coordinate with and assist other groups bringing domestic or international cases. Interns are fully integrated into ERI’s U.S. legal team and may work with any of ERI’s attorneys and other staff in advocacy and communications programs. 


Requirements:

  • A demonstrated commitment to using the U.S. legal system to serve vulnerable communities and/or protect human rights and the environment
  • Independent and creative thinking skills
  • Excellent legal research and writing skills
  • Ability to responsibly handle client, partner, and colleague relationships and protect the confidentiality of our work and our communications


Additional desired qualifications include:

  • Proficiency in languages other than English; Spanish fluency is highly desired
  • Experience in fields related to issues of human rights, environmental protection and indigenous peoples, including regional studies, development, environmental sciences, or others
  • Strong interpersonal skills, cultural competency skills, and ability to work in teams
  • Experience or interest in working with people from diverse cultures
  • A positive attitude


Application Procedures:
The deadline for applications for Fall 2026 is July 15, 2026. Applications are considered on a rolling basis; students are encouraged to submit their applications as early as possible.


Students interested in the position of U.S. Fall Legal Intern should submit a cover letter, resume, and a legal writing sample of ten pages or less. Due to the volume of applications, ERI is unable to interview every applicant. We typically conduct virtual interviews.


EarthRights International is an equal opportunity employer that does not discriminate in its hiring practices, and actively encourages people of color, women, people with disabilities, and LGBTQI people to apply.
