Program:
Rocky Mountain Regional Clerkship
Clerk Description:
The Rocky Mountain Office’s work focuses on Colorado, Utah, and Arizona, and its cases primarily involve
1. protecting public lands and wildlife from fracking, mining, and other threats;
2. quickly and equitably shifting Colorado and nearby states from dirty to clean energy, and away from fossil fuel combustion in transportation, buildings, and industry; and
3. protecting urban and rural communities that are disproportionately impacted by pollution and other environmental harms.
As a summer clerk, you’ll conduct legal and factual research, draft memoranda and court pleadings, and assist attorneys with other tasks like client interactions, oral argument preparation, and more. The RMO coordinates summer events to ensure our clerks form professional connections within the office and the larger public-interest legal community. We welcome applicants who, in addition to demonstrating core legal research, writing, and advocacy skills, have a demonstrated interest in and capacity for deploying emotional intelligence and cultural competency in their work.
