The ABA Commission on Homelessness & Poverty’s 2025 Curtin Justice Fund Legal Internship Program application is now available for Summer 2025! The Program will pay a $3,500 stipend to three law school students who spend the summer months working for a bar association or legal services program designed to prevent homelessness or assist homeless or indigent clients or their advocates. The Legal Internship Program will provide much-needed legal assistance to organizations serving the under-represented and give students direct experience in a public interest forum. Through this, it aims both to help homeless clients and to encourage careers in the law that further the goals of social justice.
The ideal intern will have a demonstrated interest in public interest law and experience working with people experiencing homelessness/poverty or on issues affecting them. All law students are eligible, and first year law students are encouraged to apply. The intern must commit no less than eight continuous weeks between May 1 and September 1 to their chosen program.
Visit the Fellowship website for more information and to apply. Please submit your application materials to [email protected]. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 28, 2025.
