AkronLawJobs No. 7035 Overview: Legal interns at St. Jude spend a summer immersed in a unique culture where basic, translational, and clinical research are all housed on the same campus in a robust hospital.
Duties: Interns will work with a number of lawyers, both in-house and (with supervision) outside counsel, on substantive projects in many aspects of the law – some of which will depend on the intern’s interests – including health law, business transactions, risk management, international law, intellectual property, commercial transactions, labor and employment, clinical trials, grants and contracts, and even shaping law and regulations at the State and Federal levels. Every assignment comes with plenty of context and follow-through opportunities for the interns, and client interaction is plentiful.
Qualifications: Third year law students and those who are in the second semester of the second year are encouraged to apply. Must be fluent in English, have exceptional grades, and have taken Professional Responsibility or have passed the Multi State Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE).
Please note: To prevent conflicts of interest, students with relatives employed by St. Jude may not apply, except in extraordinary circumstances.
This is an unpaid internship. If you are selected, you may apply for the public interest fellowship or seek course credit through Akron Law’s externship program.
How to apply: Send your CV and include your undergraduate, graduate (if any), and law school transcripts, and a cover letter to ab139@uakron.edu. Your letter should be addressed to Dr. McGehee Marsh, Senior Counsel. It is imperative that the cover letter address why the applicant wishes to have an internship at St. Jude, the intern’s expectations, and why the intern believes he or she “belongs” here.
Deadline: February 5, 2016
