FALL 2014 LEGAL INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation Equality Center, Disability Rights
Program, San Francisco & NY

For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation?s guardian of liberty,
working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the
individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the
United States guarantee everyone in this country.  Whether it?s achieving
full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections
for our digital age, ending mass incarceration, or preserving the right to
vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil
liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and
overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the
ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states,
Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual?s
rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race,
religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or national origin.

The Equality Center ? Disability Rights Program of the ACLU?s National
Office in New York City and San Francisco seeks applicants for Fall 2014
Legal Internships, starting in September. A stipend is available for those
students who do not receive outside funding and/or course credit.
Arrangements can be made with educational institutions for work/study or
course credit.

OVERVIEW

The ACLU has a long history of defending the rights of people with
disabilities. It played a major role in securing passage of the Americans
with Disabilities Act, has battled discrimination against persons with
HIV/AIDS, and stood up for the voting rights of persons with disabilities in
the ongoing debate over electoral reform. It has fought to obtain adequate
health care and access to services for prisoners with disabilities across
the country and is now addressing fundamental civil rights issues in
education, voting, criminal justice, and guardianship.

INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW
The internship requires a 10-16 week commitment with a preferred start date
of September 2, 2014. The internship can be full-time, or part-time with
weekly hours that are negotiable.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITES
Our legal internship program is designed to provide legal interns with the

?         Conducting Internet and other factual research and collaborating
with staff in preparing background memoranda on selected policy issues.

?         Collecting and analyzing statistical and social science data for

?         Supporting outreach to disability organizations.

?         Supporting the development and maintenance of website materials
and other public information outlets.

?         Working on special projects and other duties as assigned.

Importance: High

Good afternoon,

"Using all the resources available, effectively."  Have I been doing this?

How do I use LindedIn?  Am I connected with individuals who can help me get
focused, find resources, connect with decision-makers, employees in firms I
want to work with?  Have I joined the Special Interest Groups that support
my goals, this incudes geographic as well as professional groups?  Have I
presented my skill sets clearly?

Am I aware of the focus of the Social Media sites such as Facebook and
Twitter, and their focus and how to use them effectively?

What professional organizations am I connected with and what am I doing in
those groups that give me experience and contacts? This include Membership
Committees, Program Committees, Publicity/PR.  Regardless of my background
and experience there are relevant professional groups out there that will
help me.

When I go to Career Fairs, do I research each company I want to consider
working with before the career fair?   Do I know the questions I want to ask
and the specific information I want to give, to the person on the other side
of the table, or standing next to me in the line? 

In answering a posted add do I research the employer and tell the employer
how I can contribute to the bottom line of the organization with my resume
and possible cover letter? 

Am I using and growing my personal network?  What have I told them about my
search and my progress?  Does my network know what my skill sets are
according to employer needs, what employers I want to connect with, and my
interest in connecting with employees in those organizations?  Do I work
closely with my Advocate level network contacts?  What am I doing with my
Ally level contacts and am I doing anything to develop my Acquaintances into
Allies?  (Lynne Waymon's three levels of Contact:  Acquaintance, Ally and
Advocate, from her book, Make Your Contacts Count.)

Do I know which employers that I truly want to consider working with have
Employee Referral Programs?  Have I asked my network and my LinkedIn
connections?

Critical to all of this, have I followed up with a thank you and status
report when provided with contacts, and received referrals?

And even more critical to my success now and in the future, do I clearly and
simply advise all what it is that I really want to do and show how I can do
that?

No one told me that job search was easy, and it isn't.  Make it a good week.
