Career Opportunity
Staff Attorney, [DLRP-19]
American Civil Liberties Union
Drug Law Reform Project, Santa Cruz, CA
OVERVIEW:
TheAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), one of the nation&#8217;s 
foremost public interest organizations in defense of the Bill of Rights, is 
seeking a dynamic and resourcefulStaff Attorneyfor its Drug 
Law Reform Project in the Santa Cruz, California office.
The goal of the Drug Law Reform Project is to end punitive drug policies that 
cause widespread violation of constitutional and human rights, as well as unprecedented 
levels of incarceration. Founded in 1998, the Project brings lawsuits throughout 
the country with lasting impact on public understanding of, and government response 
to, drug use and drug policies.
The Project&#8217;s legal strategies are built on the idea that fighting for 
civil rights means more than just persuading judges. It means changing society&#8217;s 
stigma relating to drug use and policies. We work on the front lines with communities 
most affected by drugs and drug laws to integrate litigation with innovative 
public education campaigns and to develop tools to help these communities demand 
justice.
The Project has an unparalleled track record, having successfully litigated 
issues ranging from racial profiling in drug law enforcement to protecting medical 
marijuana users and their doctors from prosecution. We will continue that tradition 
of success, combining litigation, education, and community empowerment to achieve 
a humane and sensible drug policy that respects basic human rights and the liberties 
enshrined in our nation&#8217;s Constitution.
The Project&#8217;s current priorities are challenging racial disparities in 
drug law enforcement, punishment of non-violent marijuana users and drug sentencing 
reform.
The Project&#8217;s current litigation docket includes cases in state and federal 
courts and administrative agencies challenging crack vs. powder cocaine sentencing 
disparity, federal obstruction of medical marijuana, forced random drug testing 
of public school teachers, and abuse of the grand jury process to chill speech 
advocating drug policy reform. Other issues of interest include law enforcement&#8217;s 
misuse of confidential informants, alternatives to incarceration for drug offenders, 
student drug testing, and police harassment of sterile syringe exchange programs 
and other health-based approaches to drug use and abuse. The Project represents 
the first national effort to harness litigation in combination with coordinated 
advocacy and community organizing as a tool of drug policy reform. For more 
information, please visitwww.aclu.org/drugpolicy.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Staff Attorney will report directly to the Litigation Director of the Project 
and applicants should be prepared to work on all aspects of the Project&#8217;s 
legal docket. The Staff Attorney will share responsibilities with our staff 
on all aspects of Project litigation, including:
* Creating strategies to deal with major challenges such as state and federal 
drug laws and enforcement
* Engaging in non-litigation advocacy in conjunction with legal strategies

CAREER OPPORTUNITY
Director of Washington Legislative Office [WLOU-12]
American Civil Liberties Union
Washington Legislative Office, D.C.
TheAmerican Civil Liberties Unionseeks a Director of its 
Washington Legislative Office (WLO). The WLO&#8217;s purpose is to influence 
the outcome of policies on behalf of the ACLU before Congress and the Executive 
Branch. The Director of the WLO reports directly to the ACLU Executive Director, 
Anthony D. Romero, and serves as an active member of the national organization&#8217;s 
senior management.
For almost ninety years, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has served 
as the nation&#8217;s premier guardian of the liberties that define our democracy. 
Based in New York City, the ACLU has offices in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and 
Washington, DC. The organization, its affiliates, almost 300 local chapters 
and over 500,000 members remain a bulwark in the defense of liberty. The ACLU 
is known for assembling broad coalitions of conservatives, moderates and progressives 
to advance civil liberties on a wide range of issues including national security, 
racial justice, reproductive freedom, LGBT rights, criminal justice, freedom 
of speech and privacy &#8211; all of which are of increased salience at the 
federal level since the recent national election.
While much of the ACLU&#8217;s work has been in the courtrooms and in the court 
of public opinion, the ACLU&#8217;s Washington Legislative Office has led the 
efforts to enact, to block, to defeat or repeal legislation that would positively 
or adversely impact civil liberties and civil rights. Its staff has been successful 
in shaping, propelling and defeating several legislative measures. ACLU leadership 
and lobbyists have testified before Congress, conducted dozens of briefings 
for members of Congress and their staffs, organized grassroots lobbying efforts 
and placed hundreds of op-eds, editorials, television and radio interviews. 
These efforts have become increasingly important in the changed political environment 
of the past year.
THE ROLE
The ACLU seeks a Director of its Washington Legislative Office (WLO). Reporting 
directly to the Executive Director of the ACLU, the Director will be responsible 
for leading the team charged with advancing the mission of the organization 
in Washington. Since 2001, the WLO has grown considerably. It operates on an 
annual budget of $6.3 million with over 30 employees and a number of consultants. 
The Washington office staff is focused primarily on Lobbying and Legislative 
affairs, and also developing strategies to deploy the large, active ACLU membership 
base in support of legislative and administrative policy changes. The Washington 
staff work closely and very collaboratively with their counterparts in the New 
York office and the state ACLU affiliates. The Director of the office serves 
as an active member of the national organization&#8217;s senior management team.
The new Director will be tasked with working with the new leadership in the 
House, Senate and the White House, bringing the expertise and deep knowledge 
of the ACLU on civil liberties and civil rights issues. In addition to providing 
leadership in legislative battles, the new Director will be expected to attend 
to the following challenges during the first 18 months of his/her tenure:
* Build and maintain strategic relationships with Congress and the executive 
branch.
* Provide inspiring leadership for a staff comprised of talented expert lobbyists 
and field organizers.
* Continue the work of building alliances and coalitions with a broad range 
of civil libertarians from across the political spectrum.
* In close cooperation with affiliate staff, develop a list of targeted Congressional 
and state legislative districts in which to concentrate grassroots organizing 
and identification of key supporters to assist with lobbying and other efforts.
* Work closely with affiliate staff to establish systems to anticipate and 
monitor legislative developments in the states as well as to share successful 
and unsuccessful tactics and strategies to deal with them. Plan and execute 
grassroots mobilization strategies, including event organizing, creation of 
public outreach materials, and public speaking regarding these issues.
* Work to increase the organization&#8217;s capacity to effectively mobilize 
the ACLU&#8217;s 500,000 members, ACLU affiliates and other concerned individuals 
about pending federal legislation and ACLU legislative priorities.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
This is an extremely important opportunity for a new Director to play a central 
and leading role in what will be a new and challenging effort to protect the 
liberties that define our democracy.
The ACLU seeks a person to assume the leadership of the Washington Office during 
a period of remarkable and exciting change. The new Director, in cooperation 
with his/her staff in Washington, the national headquarters in New York and 
in affiliates around the nation will be expected to craft and execute a comprehensive 
legislative lobbying agenda.

arena. Experience formulating strategies that tie together research, legal 
analysis, organizing, lobbying, communications and litigation.
* A history of working collaboratively and successfully with people and organizations 
from a broad range of ideological positions, religious views and ethnicities.
* Demonstrated commitment to racial justice and civil rights issues and an 
understanding that these issues are central to the overall protection of civil 
liberties.
* Experience working closely and effectively with broadcast, virtual and print 
media.
* A seasoned and effective leader with a record of recruiting and developing 
a highly talented and diverse staff, and managing budget and administration.

responsibility.
* An interest in working with the Executive Director and other senior managers 
in raising funds, with which to pursue the organization&#8217;s ambitious 
agenda.
* A willingness to serve as a speaker at affiliate and other ACLU events.
* Demonstrated and proven leadership experience working in an organization

syringe-exchange clients who were victims of unlawful police harassment, and 
drafted portions of complaints that the Project filed in federal and state courts.

IMMIGRANTS&#8217; RIGHTS PROJECT
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION FOUNDATION
New York and California Offices
TheAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), America's foremost 
advocate of individual rights, is a non-partisan organization founded in 1920, 
with more than 5 National offices and over 50 affiliates throughout the country. 
The Immigrants&#8217; Rights Project of the ACLU seeks legal interns for theSummer of 2010.
OVERVIEW:
The Immigrants&#8217; Rights Project is a national project of the American Civil 
Liberties Union Foundation with offices in New York and California. Using targeted 
impact litigation, advocacy and public outreach, the Project carries on the 
ACLU&#8217;s historic commitment to protecting the civil rights and civil liberties 
of immigrants. In federal district and appellate courts, including the Supreme 
Court, the Project conducts the nation&#8217;s largest impact litigation program 
dedicated to defending and expanding the rights of immigrants, enforcing the 
guarantees of the Constitution and achieving equal justice under the law.
The Project has focused on challenging laws that deny immigrants access to 
the judicial system, impose indefinite and mandatory detention, and constitute 
discrimination on the basis of &#8220;alienage&#8221; by governmental and private 
entities. In addition, the Project has been challenging constitutional abuses 
that arise from immigration enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels, 
including litigation against worksite and home raids, local anti-immigrant employment 
and housing laws, and improper enforcement of federal immigration laws by local 
sheriffs. IRP&#8217;s efforts in the enforcement arena seek to ensure the constitutional 
protections of the Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, combat racial profiling 
arising from actual or pretextual immigration enforcement that subjects immigrant 
communities to racism and hostility, and challenge government policies and practices 
that undermine or deny immigrants&#8217; ability to effectuate their existing 
legal rights.
The Education component of the Project provides information about immigrants&#8217; 
rights to immigrant communities nationwide. The Project works with the English 
and non-English language media, immigrant advocacy organizations and ACLU affiliates 
around the country to empower immigrant communities through presentations about 
their rights as well as current and proposed immigration laws.
INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW:

TheAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), America's foremost 
advocate of individual rights, is a non-partisan organization founded in 1920, 
with more than 5 National offices and over 50 affiliates throughout the country. 
The Immigrant Rights Project of the ACLU seeks applicants for theUndergraduate 
Summer Internshipin San Francisco starting in June 2010.
OVERVIEW:
The Immigrants&#8217; Rights Project (IRP) is a national project of the American 
Civil Liberties Union with offices in New York and California. Using targeted 
impact litigation, advocacy and public outreach, the Project carries on the 
ACLU&#8217;s commitment to protecting the rights and liberties of immigrants. 
In federal district and appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, the Project 
conducts the nation&#8217;s largest impact litigation program dedicated to defending 
and expanding the rights of immigrants, enforcing the guarantees of the Constitution, 
and achieving equal justice under the law.
The Project has focused on challenging laws that deny immigrants access to 
the judicial system, impose indefinite and mandatory detention, and constitute 
discrimination on the basis of &#8220;alienage&#8221; by governmental and private 
entities. In addition, the Project has been challenging constitutional abuses 
that arise from immigration enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels, 
including litigation against worksite and home raids, local anti-immigrant employment 
and housing laws, and improper enforcement of federal immigration laws by local 
sheriffs. IRP&#8217;s efforts in the enforcement arena seek to ensure the constitutional 
protections of the Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, combat racial profiling 
arising from actual or pretextual immigration enforcement that subjects immigrant 
communities to racism and hostility, and challenge government policies and practices 
that undermine or deny immigrants&#8217; ability to effectuate their existing 
legal rights.

Summer 2010 Legal Internship-ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, NY(9/23/2009)

SUMMER 2010 LEGAL INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM PROJECT, NY
TheAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)is a nationwide, 
nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to the principles of liberty and 
equality embodied in the U.S. Constitution. TheReproductive Freedom 
Project (RFP)of the ACLU seeks legal interns to work full-time in 
New York City forSummer 2010.
Since its founding in the 1920s, the ACLU has fought to ensure that the decision 
whether or not to have a child be informed, meaningful, and protected from unwarranted 
government interference. The ACLU is particularly committed to ensuring that 
individuals&#8217; reproductive rights are not compromised because of their 
race, youth, or economic status, and believes that reproductive rights work 
must be informed by broader racial and social justice considerations.
Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, the ACLU Reproductive Freedom 
Project works to protect access to the full spectrum of reproductive health 
care, from sexuality education and family planning services to prenatal care 
and childbearing assistance to abortion counseling and services.
For more than thirty years, the ACLU has been involved, in one way or another, 
with virtually every reproductive rights case to reach the Supreme Court, including 
Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, in which the Project was 
lead counsel. Through litigation and advocacy, Project lawyers work to challenge 
bans on safe abortion procedures; to reverse prison policies that restrict reproductive 
rights, including the permission of shackling during labor or denying transportation 
for abortions; to restore Medicaid coverage for abortions to ensure real choice 
for low-income women; to defend the rights of pregnant women to make decisions 
about their health care and those who continue their pregnancies despite a drug 
dependency or other health condition; to promote teens&#8217; access to confidential 
reproductive health care; and to ensure that young people receive comprehensive 
sex education. The Project is also the nation&#8217;s leading expert on the 
intersection between reproductive rights and the religion and free speech clauses 
of the First Amendment.
The Project is unique among reproductive rights organizations in that we work 
with the ACLU&#8217;s nationwide network of affiliates and other attorneys in 
the organization who specialize in other civil liberties areas, including free 
speech, race and poverty issues, and lesbian and gay rights.
INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW:
Students are highly encouraged to seek Public Interest Fellowship funds 
for the internship. Arrangements can also be made with the student&#8217;s law 
school for work/study stipends. However, summer interns who do not secure funding 
will be eligible for a modest stipend provided by the Project.
ROLES &amp; RESPONSIBILITIES:
Interns will be working closely with Project staff including the following:
* Assist with the Project&#8217;s litigation, legislation and policy work.
* Assist in all aspects of litigation including legal research, factual investigation, 
and drafting of memoranda, affidavits, and briefs.
EXPERIENCE &amp; QUALIFICATIONS:
* Current first year and second year law students.
* Knowledge of reproductive rights law is not required, but an interest in 
reproductive rights, civil liberties, racial and social justice, and issues 
affecting low-income women is essential.
HOW TO APPLY:
Applicants should send a letter of interest, a resume, the names, telephone 
numbers and email addresses of two references, and a legal writing sample of 
five to ten pages to by email toataketomo@aclu.org,reference RFP S10 Applicationin the subject line or send regular

CAREER 
OPPORTUNITY
DIRECTOR [NPP-15]
AMERICAN 
CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
NATIONAL 
PRISON AND OVER-INCARCERATION PROJECT
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is 
seeking a Director for its National Prison and Over-Incarceration Project 
(previously known as the National Prison Project).
Through strategic 
litigation and public advocacy, the ACLU has long been a national leader in 
protecting the rights of those imprisoned and in challenging the policies of 
over-incarceration that have led the United States to imprison more people than 
any other country in the world. 
This is an opportune moment 
to reform those policies. There is a growing consensus among criminal 
justice experts and policymakers that America&#8217;s criminal justice system has 
relied too heavily on incarceration as the first and often only response for 
non-violent behavior that could better be addressed through other means. 
The population in American prisons and jails has tripled in the past 15 years 
and now exceeds two million. Facilities are overcrowded; medical systems 
are overwhelmed; work, education, and treatment programs are inadequate; and 
prison violence has increased. This failed experiment does not make us 
safer, it is not affordable, and it exacerbates the racial disparities that have 
long plagued the criminal justice system. 
The ACLU is therefore 
launching a major organizational initiative to address the issue of 
over-incarceration to be spearheaded by the National Prison and 
Over-Incarceration Project. With 53 affiliates, the ACLU is uniquely 
positioned to develop and implement a national strategy on 
over-incarceration. The Director of the National Prison and 
Over-Incarceration Project will play a leading role in that initiative, as well 
as overseeing the ACLU&#8217;s ongoing litigation on behalf of prisoners&#8217; 
rights.
ROLES 
&amp; RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Director 
has overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the Project, and 
reports to the National Legal Director, or his designee. Those 
responsibilities include:
* Developing and 
implementing a national strategy for the ACLU to address the issue of 
over-incarceration through an integrated program of advocacy, research, public 
education, and litigation.
* Maintaining 
the Project&#8217;s historic commitment to ensuring that the nation&#8217;s prisons and 
jails are operated in a manner that is consistent with constitutional and 
statutory standards. Since its founding in 1972, The Project has brought 
successful litigation on behalf of prisoners in more than 25 states; since 1991, 
the Project has represented prisoners in 5 cases before the United States 
Supreme Court.
* Working with 
other ACLU Projects and Programs addressing related issues, including the Racial 
Justice Program, the Drug Law Reform Project, the Women&#8217;s Rights Project, and 
the Capital Punishment Project.
* Providing 
expertise and assistance to the ACLU&#8217;s Washington Legislative 
Office.
* Supporting and 
promoting the work of ACLU affiliates throughout the 
nation.
* Serving as a 
national spokesperson for the ACLU on criminal justice 
issues.
* Hiring and 
supervising Project staff.
* Fundraising 
and fiscal management.
EXPERIENCE 
&amp; QUALIFICATIONS:
Applicants must have a J.D. 
degree and:
* Commitment to 
the mission and goals of the Project and the ACLU.
* Significant 
litigation and/or policy experience on criminal justice 
issues.
* Superb 
interpersonal and communication skills.
* Excellent 
analytic skills
* Willingness to 
travel.
Applicants must also have 
the proven ability to:

leadership internally and externally.
* Create

Summer 2010 Legal Internship-ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender &amp; AIDS Project, NY(8/17/2009)

Summer 2010 Legal Internship
First &amp; Second Year Law Students
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender &amp; AIDS Project, NY
OVERVIEW:
The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) &amp; AIDS Project of theAmerican 
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)seeks Law students to work full-time in 
the New York City National Office forSummer 2010.
America&#8217;s foremost advocate of individual rights, the American Civil 
Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonpartisan organization founded in 1920. With more 
than 5 national offices and 50 affiliates throughout the country, it is widely 
regarded as the nation&#8217;s premier public interest law firm.
Founded in 1986, the LGBT &amp; AIDS Project is a special division of the national 
office of the ACLU. The goal of the LGBT &amp; AIDS Project is the creation 
of a society in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and people 
with HIV enjoy the basic rights of equality, privacy and personal autonomy, 
and freedom of belief, expression and association. This means an America where 
there&#8217;s the ability to live open and honest lives without fear of discrimination 
or abuse, where there&#8217;s respect for our identities, relationships and 
families, and where there&#8217;s fair treatment in employment, schools, health 
care, housing and public places and programs.
The Project brings &#8220;impact&#8221; lawsuits in state and federal courts 
throughout the country &#8211; cases designed to have a significant effect on 
the lives of LGBT people and those with HIV/AIDS. The Project&#8217;s legal 
strategies are built on the idea that fighting for civil rights means not only 
persuading judges but also ultimately changing the way people think. As we litigate 
for change, we implement targeted media, online and outreach campaigns to change 
public attitudes through education and to give people on the frontlines the 
tools they need to act.
As a part of the ACLU, the Project is in a unique position to work for equality. 
The ACLU&#8217;s national network of affiliates broadens the Project&#8217;s 
reach into every locality and into the federal government. Today, the ACLU brings 
more LGBT cases and advocacy initiatives than any other national civil rights 
organization. The Project strives to ensure that the racial and economic diversity 
of the LGBT community is reflected in its work and continues to explore ways 
to make its efforts more sensitive to the needs of people of color and people 
who are economically disadvantaged. The Project&#8217;s work as part of the 
broad civil liberties agenda of the ACLU exemplifies the notion that the LGBT 
community and the community of those living with HIV/AIDS must work in concert 
with other social change movements in order to achieve a just society for all.
INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW:
Legal Interns will help with the litigation and legislative/policy work of the 
Project. They will do legal and other kinds of research, work with clients, 
draft policy and legal memos, and help write pleadings, briefs and other litigation 
documents.
This internship is unpaid. Students are highly encouraged to seek Public Interest Fellowship funds for the internship. Arrangements can also be made with the student&#8217;s law school for work/study stipends. However, summer interns who do not secure funding will be eligible for a modest stipend provided by the Project..
QUALIFICATIONS:
* Current first-year and second-year law students are invited to apply.
Familiarity with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender civil rights and 
liberties, the civil rights and liberties of those living with HIV/AIDS, and 
other civil liberties issues is desirable; commitment to those issues is essential.
* Excellent research and writing skills and superior analytical ability are 
required.
* Applicants should be self-motivated, hard working, and have the proven ability 
to work with a wide range of people.
HOW TO APPLY:
The deadline is February 1, 2010, but applications will be accepted until the 
position is filled. Applications will be considered on a continuous basis, and 
therefore candidates are encouraged to apply well in advance of the deadline.

CAREER 
OPPORTUNITY
DIRECTOR [NPP-15]
AMERICAN 
CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
NATIONAL 
PRISON AND OVER-INCARCERATION PROJECT
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is 
seeking a Director for its National Prison and Over-Incarceration Project 
(previously known as the National Prison Project).
Through strategic 
litigation and public advocacy, the ACLU has long been a national leader in 
protecting the rights of those imprisoned and in challenging the policies of 
over-incarceration that have led the United States to imprison more people than 
any other country in the world. 
This is an opportune moment 
to reform those policies. There is a growing consensus among criminal 
justice experts and policymakers that America&#8217;s criminal justice system has 
relied too heavily on incarceration as the first and often only response for 
non-violent behavior that could better be addressed through other means. 
The population in American prisons and jails has tripled in the past 15 years 
and now exceeds two million. Facilities are overcrowded; medical systems 
are overwhelmed; work, education, and treatment programs are inadequate; and 
prison violence has increased. This failed experiment does not make us 
safer, it is not affordable, and it exacerbates the racial disparities that have 
long plagued the criminal justice system. 
The ACLU is therefore 
launching a major organizational initiative to address the issue of 
over-incarceration to be spearheaded by the National Prison and 
Over-Incarceration Project. With 53 affiliates, the ACLU is uniquely 
positioned to develop and implement a national strategy on 
over-incarceration. The Director of the National Prison and 
Over-Incarceration Project will play a leading role in that initiative, as well 
as overseeing the ACLU&#8217;s ongoing litigation on behalf of prisoners&#8217; 
rights.
ROLES 
&amp; RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Director 
has overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the Project, and 
reports to the National Legal Director, or his designee. Those 
responsibilities include:
* Developing and 
implementing a national strategy for the ACLU to address the issue of 
over-incarceration through an integrated program of advocacy, research, public 
education, and litigation.
* Maintaining 
the Project&#8217;s historic commitment to ensuring that the nation&#8217;s prisons and 
jails are operated in a manner that is consistent with constitutional and 
statutory standards. Since its founding in 1972, The Project has brought 
successful litigation on behalf of prisoners in more than 25 states; since 1991, 
the Project has represented prisoners in 5 cases before the United States 
Supreme Court.
* Working with 
other ACLU Projects and Programs addressing related issues, including the Racial 
Justice Program, the Drug Law Reform Project, the Women&#8217;s Rights Project, and

2010 Summer Legal Internship-ACLU National Prison Project, Washington, DC.(10/20/2009)

SUMMER 2010 LEGAL INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
NOTICE TO FIRST AND SECOND YEAR LAW STUDENTS
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
NATIONAL PRISON PROJECT
WASHINGTON, DC
The National Prison Project of the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation 
invites first and second year law students to apply for summer 2010 Legal Internships.
OVERVIEW:
TheAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), America's foremost 
advocate of individual rights, is a non-partisan organization founded in 1920, 
with more than 5 National offices and over 50 affiliates throughout the country.
Founded in 1972 by the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Prison 
Project seeks to ensure constitutional conditions of confinement and strengthen 
prisoners&#8217; rights through class action litigation and public education. 
Our policy priorities include reducing prison overcrowding, improving prisoner 
medical care, eliminating violence and maltreatment in prisons and jails, and 
minimizing the reliance on incarceration as a criminal justice sanction. The 
Project also publishes a semi-annual Journal, coordinates a nationwide network 
of litigators, conducts training and public education conferences, and provides 
expert advice and technical assistance to local community groups and lawyers 
throughout the country.
The population in American prisons and jails has tripled in the past 15 years 
with the predictable consequence that facilities are overcrowded; medical systems 
are overwhelmed; work, education, and treatment programs are inadequate; and 
idleness and inadequate supervision lead to greater levels of violence. As our 
national prison and jail population has climbed to over two million persons, 
it has grown increasingly racially skewed. On any given day, one-third of all 
African-American males are under some form of criminal justice supervision, 
and for black males in their twenties, one in every eight is in prison or jail. 
These trends have been exacerbated by the impact of the "war on drugs," 
with three fourths of all those convicted of drug offenses being persons of 
color, far out of proportion to their share of drug users in society. The consequences 
of these racial disparities in the criminal justice system reach beyond the 
prison gates: for example, as a result of state felony disenfranchisement laws, 
an estimated 13% of all black males are not eligible to vote.
The Project, with a staff of six attorneys, has fought and continues to fight 
unlawful prison conditions and practices through successful litigation on behalf 
of prisoners in more than 25 states. Since 1991, the Project has represented 
prisoners in five cases before the United States Supreme Court. It is the only 
organization litigating prison conditions of confinement nationwide on behalf 
of men, women, and juveniles. Currently, the Project represents over 50,000 
prisoners housed in prisons and jails in 20 states, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
OVERVIEW:
The legal interns will work closely with staff lawyers on major class actions 
and damages cases in federal court. The work includes drafting pleadings and 
briefs, participating in discovery and motion practice, and working on trials 
and appeals. In addition, the clerks will provide technical assistance to ACLU 
state affiliates, cooperating lawyers, and other lawyers who seek assistance 
from the Project.
Students are highly encouraged to seek Public Interest Fellowship funds for 
the internship. Arrangements can also be made with the student&#8217;s law school 
for work/study credits. However, interns who are unable to secure funding will 
be eligible for a stipend from the Project.
QUALIFICATIONS:
First and second year law students are encouraged to apply.
Applicants must have:
* Strong analytical, research and verbal skills.
* Must possess excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Commitment to civil liberties and public interest law.
* Familiarity with criminal justice issues is highly desirable.
HOW TO APPLY:
Applications consist of a cover letter, current resume, the names and phone 
numbers of three references, and at least one legal writing sample. Applications 
should be sent via e-mail togbigelow@dcaclu.org.

2009 Fall Undergraduate Internship- Women's Rights Project, NY(9/4/2009)

2009 FALL UNDERGRADUATE INTERNSHIP
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION FOUNDATION
WOMEN&#8217;S RIGHTS PROJECT, NY
OVERVIEW:
Founded in 1920, theAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), with more than 5 National offices and 50 affiliates across the country, is America&#8217;s foremost advocate of individual rights. The Women&#8217;s Right Project of the ACLU seeks an undergraduate intern for theFall of 2009.
Founded in 1972 by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Women&#8217;s Rights Project (WRP) has been a leader in the legal battles to ensure women&#8217;s full equality in American society. WRP is dedicated to the advancement of the rights and interests of women, with a particular focus on low-income women, women of color, and immigrant women &#8211; those who historically have been the most deeply victimized by gender bias and face the most pervasive barriers to equality today.
WRP focuses on four core priority areas: employment (including the rights of low-wage immigrant women workers, trafficking victims, women with criminal convictions, women in non-traditional employment, and welfare recipients), violence against women (including battered women&#8217;s rights to be free from discrimination in housing, employment, and government services), criminal and juvenile justice issues affecting women and girls (including the impact of drug laws on women and families, as well as the rights of girls in the juvenile justice system), and education (including single sex education, the rights of pregnant and parenting teens, and sexual assault in schools). Cutting across these core priorities, WRP seeks to bring an international human rights framework to our litigation and advocacy. Through litigation, community outreach, advocacy, and public education, WRP pushes for change and systemic reform in those institutions that perpetuate discrimination against women.
The Women&#8217;s Rights Project has overall responsibility for implementing ACLU policy in the area of gender discrimination. WRP conducts direct litigation, files amicus curiae briefs, provides support for ACLU affiliate litigation, serves as a resource for ACLU legislative work on women&#8217;s rights and seeks to advance ACLU policy goals through public education, organizing and coalition advocacy. WRP has been an active participant in virtually all of the major gender discrimination litigation in the Supreme Court, in Congressional and public education efforts to remedy gender discrimination and other endeavors on behalf of women.

2009 Fall Internship-ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, NY(9/2/2009)

2009 FALL INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
NOTICE TO UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
Reproductive Freedom Project, NY
The Reproductive Freedom Project of theAmerican Civil Liberties Union 
(ACLU)seeks applicants for theUndergraduate Fall Internshipin New York City.
OVERVIEW:
Since its founding in the 1920s, the ACLU has fought to ensure that the decision 
whether or not to have a child be informed, meaningful, and protected from unwarranted 
government interference. The ACLU is particularly committed to ensuring that 
individuals&#8217; reproductive rights are not compromised because of their 
race, youth, or economic status, and believes that reproductive rights work 
must be informed by broader racial and social justice considerations.
Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, the ACLU Reproductive Freedom 
Project works to protect access to the full spectrum of reproductive health 
care, from sexuality education and family planning services to prenatal care 
and childbearing assistance to abortion counseling and services.
For more than thirty years, the ACLU has been involved, in one way or another, 
with virtually every reproductive rights case to reach the Supreme Court, includingAyotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, in which the 
Project was lead counsel. Through litigation and advocacy, Project lawyers work 
to challenge bans on safe abortion procedures; to strike prison policies that 
restrict reproductive rights, including by permitting shackling during labor 
or denying transportation for abortions; to restore Medicaid coverage for abortions 
to ensure real choice for low-income women; to defend the rights of pregnant 
women to make decisions about their health care and those who continue their 
pregnancies despite a drug dependency or other health condition; to promote 
teens&#8217; access to confidential reproductive health care; and to ensure 
that young people receive comprehensive sex education. The Project is also the 
nation&#8217;s leading expert on the intersection between reproductive rights 
and the religion and free speech clauses of the First Amendment.
The Project is unique among reproductive rights organizations in that we work 
with the ACLU&#8217;s nationwide network of affiliates and other attorneys in 
the organization who specialize in other civil liberties areas, including free 
speech, race and poverty issues, and lesbian and gay rights.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Interns will work under the direct supervision of the Project's legal assistants 
and will have the opportunity to work with the attorneys and staff of the Reproductive 
Freedom Project on a range of significant issues and projects. The work will 
include:
* Conducting factual research.
* Providing assistance to the department.
* Archiving and organizing case files.
* Assisting the Public Education and State Strategy staff.
* Assisting in the maintenance of case files and compiling of press files.
* Other projects as assigned.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS:
* Commitment to civil liberties.
* Strong interest in social justice and legal issues.
* Excellent writing and communication skills.
* Demonstrated initiative to see projects through to completion.
* Ability to perform administrative tasks as well as research and writing.
Our fall term internship requires a 10-14 week commitment. These positions 
are part-time with weekly hours negotiable. The number of interns accepted varies. 
Interns are highly encouraged to obtain funding from outside sources, as the 
position is unpaid.
HOW TO APPLY:

for theMarvin A. Karpatkin Fellowship, which will begin in 
September 2010.
The Fellowship was established by the ACLU Board of Directors in memory of 
Marvin M. Karpatkin, the late General Counsel of the American Civil Liberties 
Union, who died in January 1975, at the age of 48. Mr. Karpatkin was one of 
the ACLU's most active attorneys during the 1960s and early 1970s. He left his 
special mark in the areas of selective service and military law. His interest 
in those areas grew out of his own strong opposition to the Vietnam War and 
his desire to help those who, younger than himself, were faced with performing 
military service in a war they would not support.
Racial Justice Program (RJP) attorneys and staff work to challenge racial discrimination 
and related issues that have a disparate impact on communities of color, particularly 
in the areas of criminal justice and education. In the area of criminal justice, 
we are dedicated to reducing the unwarranted and disproportionate targeting 
and incarceration of people of color. In the area of education, we seek to ensure 
that all children have access to quality education, regardless of race or ethnicity. 
Specifically, we have filed civil challenges to the inadequate provision of 
indigent criminal and juvenile defense, racial profiling, and disparate educational 
opportunities. We have also campaigned against the racially-disproportionate 
imposition of incarceration and school discipline.
