Fair Housing Internships

Why wait until graduation to practice law? The Fair Housing Legal Clinic has a limited number of clinical internship positions available each semester. These competitive positions enable degree candidates to gain practical legal experience and bolster your resume at the same time.

“Working at the Fair Housing Clinic has helped me to learn how to not only recognize issues and prepare for trial, but also how to work with clients—skills I believe will set me a part from my peers.

Louis Raymond, JD '12

Clinical interns have a unique opportunity to participate in community outreach service. Interns, along with clinic faculty and staff, regularly make general fair housing presentations to individuals, groups, and agencies, representing all protected classes under the Fair Housing Act, of their rights under the law.
