Summer Student Program information

What is a summer student program?

A Summer Student Program is a temporary work or internship opportunity designed for students, typically during their summer break from school or university. These programs provide hands-on experience in a professional setting, allowing students to develop practical skills, gain industry knowledge, and build their resumes. Participants may work on real projects, receive mentorship, and explore potential career paths. Summer Student Programs are available in various fields and often serve as a stepping stone to future employment opportunities.

What types of projects and tasks can participants expect to work on in a summer student program?

Participants in a Summer Student Program are often assigned a mix of hands-on projects, team-based assignments, and individual tasks that contribute to real business goals. Typical responsibilities may include conducting research, assisting with data analysis, supporting ongoing department initiatives, and collaborating with full-time staff on short-term projects. The variety of work is designed to give students practical exposure to the industry, help them build new skills, and understand how their role fits within the larger organization. Supervisors and mentors typically provide guidance and feedback throughout the program, fostering both learning and professional development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a summer student program, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Summer Student Program, you typically need to be enrolled in an educational institution with a strong academic record and basic proficiency in the relevant subject area. Familiarity with common productivity tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace is often required, and some programs may prefer experience with specific software or research tools. Initiative, time management, and strong communication skills help students stand out and effectively contribute to team projects. These skills and qualities are important because they enable students to maximize learning, adapt quickly, and deliver meaningful contributions during a limited program duration.

What is the difference between Summer Student Program vs Summer Intern?

AspectSummer Student ProgramSummer Intern
Required credentialsHigh school or college students, often no formal certificationsTypically college students pursuing relevant degrees
Work environmentEntry-level tasks, learning-focused, supervisedHands-on projects, professional setting, mentorship
Employer and industry usageCommon across various industries for student developmentMore specialized, often in corporate or technical fields

The Summer Student Program generally targets high school or college students seeking introductory work experience, focusing on learning and skill development. Summer Interns are usually college students engaged in more project-based work within a professional environment. Both roles aim to prepare students for future careers but differ mainly in experience level and scope of responsibilities.

Job description

CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM
The Clean Energy Program litigates and advocates in state and federal courts and before energy regulators across the country to advance an equitable clean energy transition. Our work includes expanding and increasing access to clean energy resources; advocating for the closure of coal-fired power plants; opposing efforts to build new gas-fired power plants; and advocating for the cleanup of coal waste.  We represent and partner with diverse clients individually and as part of coalitions.
 
ABOUT US 
Founded in 1971, Earthjustice has a distinguished track record of achieving significant, lasting  environmental protections. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people’s health; preserve magnificent places and wildlife; advance clean energy; and combat climate change. We partner with thousands of groups and supporters to take on the biggest, most precedent-setting cases across the country and have a distinguished track record of achieving significant, lasting environmental protections. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer. 
  
We welcome all interested law students from across the country to apply for a summer law clerk position.  We expect that students will work proximate to or in an office where the program is located. 
  
RESPONSIBILITIES 
Summer Law Clerks will have the opportunity to work with several attorneys on case development and litigation strategy. Students may draft pleadings and briefs, do legal research, develop strategy and legal theories, gather evidence, and attend client meetings and court proceedings. Earthjustice’s summer law clerk program also includes various programmatic offerings, such as in-person and virtual seminars with attorneys and guest speakers on current environmental issues, interactions with other local and regional environmental groups, and a job interview workshop.  
  
COMPENSATION 
Earthjustice summer law clerkships are paid positions. The total stipend amount will be dependent on any external funding a student secures, such as through their law school’s summer funding program. Earthjustice will provide a one-time stipend at the start of the clerkship in the amount of $1,382.00 per week, minus the total amount received from any other sources and applicable taxes. The summer law clerkship is designed to be 10 weeks long at full-time hours (37.5 hours/week).  
  
You are welcome to pursue outside funding. The ability to secure outside funding will not be considered as part of the hiring process.  
  
HOW TO APPLY 
Eligibility: Candidates must be enrolled in a U.S. law school through fall 2027 (i.e., not graduating before December 2027) and be available to commit ten weeks during summer 2027. Summer law clerks must work from the U.S. during their clerkship.  
  
HOW TO APPLY
Interested candidates should submit their complete application via Jobvite by September 7, 2026. Incomplete applications will not be considered.  
  
Each Earthjustice litigation team participates in clerk hiring; candidates may submit applications to whichever and however many litigation teams they are interested.
