Cleveland, Oh – Summer / Fall Legal Clerk – City of Cleveland Department of Law
AkronLawJobs No. 7090 Overview: Seeking law students for legal clerkships for the summer of 2016. This is a unique opportunity to gain experience in a public sector environment.
Duties: Choose from either the Civil Division which is divided into six sections: Development, Code Enforcement, Safety, House Counsel, Litigation, and Operations and Sustainability or the Criminal Division which prosecutes misdemeanor crimes in Cleveland and reviews felony cases to determine whether they should be bound over to a grand jury for county prosecution.
Duty description: Consists of challenging work in a broad range of practice areas; instruction in municipal law; feedback on legal research and writing; professional skills workshops; and guest speakers.
Compensation: Summer clerks may receive academic credit from their law school, use federal work-study dollars, receive a public-interest scholarship, or seek a stipend from an organization such as a bar association.

DUE TO BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, ALL AVAILABLE POSITIONS IN 2016 WILL BE UNPAID.
Qualifications: 1L, 2L.
How to apply: Send your cover letter explaining your interest in municipal law, what you would like to achieve by the end of the clerkship, whether you are seeking a full-time summer or part-time academic year position, and whether you prefer the civil or criminal division; a detailed resume and one writing sample of 5-8 pages in length to Jillian Dinehart HERE.
