The Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC) is now accepting legal internship applications from first-, second-, and third-year law students for Summer 2026. Legal interns will join CAC's litigation team and be immersed in all aspects of CAC's substantive legal work.
Ideal candidates will have the following:
This is a full-time (40 hours per week) internship running 10 weeks from May to July 2026, with a stipend of $3,500.
Interns are encouraged to apply for any funding available from their law schools. If an intern's school does not provide summer funding or an intern is ineligible for that funding, CAC will provide additional funding up to a total stipend amount of $7,000.
Summer legal interns report to CAC's Chief Counsel.
To apply, please send a résumé, cover letter, law school transcript, and relevant writing sample that includes a cover page briefly explaining the context in which it was written, and whether and how the sample was edited based on suggestions from others.
Email your application materials as one PDF to Ana Lucia Verduzco at analucia@theusconstitution.org.
Recognizing that some law schools encourage first-year law students not to apply until November, we will continue to review applications after that date, although we encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible after November 15.
