Law Student Testimonials: “Working at Our Children's Trust is challenging, engaging, and most importantly, deeply meaningful. The work was incredibly varied, and each week brought unparalleled opportunities to learn about the legal process and develop practical skills. I don't think there is another legal internship where in just ten weeks I could have researched complex civil procedure questions, conducted document review, learned about the legal system of Sri Lanka, drafted a section of a brief to the Ninth Circuit, supported discovery efforts in preparation for trial, and more. The attorneys at Our Children's Trust truly valued the law clerks and ensured that each assignment was meaningful to the case and our professional development alike.” ~1L, Georgetown University Law Center “It's so easy to wake up in the morning, hear some awful news about climate change, and then go about your day like the world is not on fire. At Our Children's Trust, you get to wake up, hear the news, and then be a part of groundbreaking litigation that could go a long way towards putting out that fire. As a legal experience, this internship is second to none. Interns get a lot of responsibility from day one, and also the feedback and support necessary to learn. Any law student interested in impact environmental litigation should apply!” ~1L, Harvard Law School “My clerkship at Our Children's Trust was a truly rewarding experience. Over the course of the summer, I had the opportunity to work on substantive projects for both state and federal litigation. I am grateful for the interesting and challenging work that I was assigned, and my research and writing skills grew tremendously throughout the summer. The legal team at Our Children's Trust is inclusive and dedicated to their clerks. I was always encouraged to take on projects that sparked my interest, and I felt supported in completing those projects. I couldn't have asked for a better summer experience!” ~1L, University of Oregon School of Law At Our Children's Trust, we are committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and teammates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical and mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, military and veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
