Cleveland, OH \u2013 Enforcement Internship and Hearings Unit Internship\u2013 EEOC
AkronLawJobsNo. 11320 and 11389 Overview: <\/strong>The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Cleveland Field Office has internship opportunities for undergraduate students (who have completed their sophomore year of college), law students, and graduate students starting in May 2020. The EEOC is the federal agency charged with enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination, including the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). The Enforcement Unit investigates charges of discrimination filed against private employers. The Hearings Unit adjudicates claims of employment discrimination involving federal agencies. The Hearings Unit only accepts law students as interns. Internships are unpaid volunteer positions, but we will assist students with their applications for academic credit, externships, or external stipends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enforcement Internship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interns may work\nassisting investigators in developing a variety of evidentiary materials\nrelated to charges of employment discrimination in individual as well as class\ncases. Duties and assignments may include: reviewing correspondence to see if\nit alleges a claim under our laws; creating initial charge files from\ncorrespondence; inputting data relating to an investigation into our\ninformation management system; assisting in screening and interviewing\nindividuals who seek to file a charge of employment discrimination; responding\nto email inquiries regarding potential charges; corresponding with charging\nparties or employers regarding charges of discrimination; reviewing and\nanalyzing documents, records and evidence; contacting witnesses; drafting\ninterview questions; drafting requests for information; doing research;\nsummarizing evidence and data; and\/or reviewing case files to make preliminary\nrecommendations for further investigation or closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interns may have the\nopportunity to observe or assist with intake or witness interviews, settlement\nconferences, mediation conferences, and fact-finding conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complexity of the work\nassigned may depend on workload demands and\/or the student’s demonstrated\nabilities during the internship. While there may be some clerical work relating\nto the charge investigations, we are committed to giving students assignments\nto develop further their research, analytical or writing skills during their\ninternships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicants should have\nstrong analytical, communication, research and writing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearings Unit\nInternship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Federal Sector,\nformal EEO Complaints filed against a Federal Government agency after the\nagency’s investigation are adjudicated by an EEOC Administrative Judge upon a\nproper Complainant Request for a Hearing. The Administrative Judge develops the\nrecord and adjudicates the case through settlement, dispositive motion or hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EEOC Cleveland\nField Office Hearings Unit offers opportunities for law students to participate\nin the administrative hearing process working closely with EEOC Administrative\nJudges. The student will have extensive exposure to civil rights litigation.\nThe student will prepare legal memoranda, draft notices and orders, respond to\nmotions (including motions for summary judgment), draft findings of fact and\nconclusions of law, and\/or conduct research for use by the Administrative Judge\nin rendering decisions in Federal Sector employment discrimination cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student will have\na rare and extensive opportunity to hone legal writing skills in real life\nsituations by drafting actual decisions. This office is committed to ensuring\nthat law students receive an opportunity to develop legal skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specific cases will be\nidentified for the intern that present legal issues, including disability law,\nretaliation, sexual harassment and other areas of employment discrimination.\nThe student will be assigned progressively more complex casework throughout the\nsummer or semester and work with increasing independence, but always under the\ndirect supervision of an Administrative Judge. The student will meet often with\nhis\/her assigned Administrative Judge(s) and there will be frequent interim\nreview of written documents. In addition, the student will have opportunities\nto discuss general legal matters with the Administrative Judges and may attend\noral case presentations and other office discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our office has multiple\nvacancies available throughout the year. During a semester, we prefer students\nwho can commit a minimum of 16 hours per week. For the summer term, we prefer\nstudents who can commit a minimum of 32 hours per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
