Descrizione del lavoro

CLF seeks law students who are interested in dedicating a summer to advance cutting edge legal strategies and policy solutions.

CLF’s Cavers Interns are paired with an experienced attorney in one of our program areas focusing on climate and energy; clean air and water; ocean conservation; strategic litigation; healthy and resilient communities; or environmental justice. Over the course of the summer, interns support CLF’s mission by researching legal issues and drafting documents ranging from internal strategy memos to public comments and portions of motions and briefs. Interns may also have the opportunity to meet with state and federal agency officials and work with other environmental organizations, local activist groups, and environmental justice communities in New England.

This program was created to honor the memory of David Cavers, a strong supporter of CLF. David worked with CLF from 1981 until his death in November of 2000. As a Director, he was integral in steering the organization through many of the tough battles that led to the prominence it enjoys today. During his time at CLF, David took great satisfaction in mentoring law students and preparing them for careers as effective environmental advocates.

The Cavers Internship requires a commitment of 10 weeks of full-time work and is paid a stipend of $9,000 for those outside of Boston, and $10,000 for those working at our Boston office.

The number of Cavers positions is limited. If the Cavers positions are filled, CLF will automatically consider applicants to the Cavers program for another summer internship if funding is available at the same stipend amount.

Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) protects New England’s environment for the benefit of all people. A non‑profit, member-supported organization, CLF uses the law, science, and the market to solve the region’s most challenging environmental problems, from climate change to ocean conservation to transportation. Every day, CLF advocates stand up for New Englanders—in statehouses, courthouses, boardrooms, regulatory hearings, and community gatherings—to forge innovative paths to environmental progress and economic prosperity for all in our region. To that end, CLF frequently works with communities of color, and those that are economically or otherwise disadvantaged, which often suffer disproportionately from the impacts of environmental degradation.

CLF is committed to diversity among our staff, volunteers, interns, boards, and membership and creating a positive, inclusive workplace culture where all can thrive.
