My name is David Faux and I seek two interns to assist me in my law practice: an associate intern (perfect for the law school student), and a paralegal intern (perfect for the college student considering law school). Both positions are unpaid, though credit might be available (see below).
The Associate Internship (perfect for a law school student) will build a wide variety of research, reading, and legal writing skills in both litigation and transactional law. While the litigation involves more mundane matters (commercial suits), it may also include work from entertainers and artists. The transactional law includes work with art galleries and, perhaps, fashion designers, as well as the possibility of other entertainers and artists. It depends on how much work everybody can get done!
The Associate Intern will assist with: securing Federal and State tax exempt status for art galleries, development of Fashion law practice, drafting memo on piracy and counterfeiting in the fashion industry, performing regular trademark searches, corporate formation, and litigating in Queens and Brooklyn.
Typical tasks will include case outlining, proofreading, interaction with court clerks, and Lexis research. I will be available (in person, by email, and by phone) for guidance on all the above-mentioned projects and anything else. I understand that this is an educational position and believe in the educational process. The training will include use of Lexis and other legal resource materials.
Requirements: 10-20 hours per week. Prior exposure to copyright law. Ability to research a problem to its solution. Ability to follow instructions. Good writing skills combined with an eye for detail. A disciplined work ethic that will carry work forward between weekly meetings (work for the internship will be done remotely). I strongly encourage the applicant to be able to receive law school credit for the work involved in this position-the applicant who can receive credit will be chosen over the applicant who cannot.
The Paralegal Internship will introduce the successful candidate to an array of legal and business concerns. This person will be dealing with my largest client, the Dramatists Guild, and working with me at the Guild Office.
The Dramatists Guild is a trade association serving authors, librettists, lyricists, and composers for the stage. We deal with contracts connected to a broad range of theatrical entities, from the community theater operating on a shoestring in West Virginia, to the hundred-page documents involved with such Broadway shows as Wicked, Legally Blonde, and Shrek. My moonlighting practice includes clients from the Arts and Entertainment world, and also has a more traditional litigation aspect.
The paralegal intern will have projects covering the gamut of intellectual property law as it relates to arts and entertainment law, especially the theater industry. They will include and or (hopefully) all of the following: monitoring events by fashion trade associations; liaising with various trade associations professional organizations; outlining legal articles; typing up drafts of memos and lectures on copyright law as it relates to fashion, theater, and other industries; pay attention to legal and industry news stories; assisting with tax exempt status for art galleries; coordinating talks, events, and other volunteer efforts with New York State Bar Association (Entertainment, Arts, and Sports Law Section), and addressing corporate formation/operational issues.
I will be available for guidance on all the above-mentioned projects and anything else. I understand that this is an educational position and believe in the educational process. The training may include use of Lexis and other legal resource materials.
Requirements: 10-20 hours per week. Follow-through on projects. Good listening and writing skills combined with an eye for detail. Ability to follow instructions. A disciplined work ethic and ability to get along with others (this internship will take place in the Guild office. I strongly encourage the applicant to be able to receive college credit for the work involved in this position-the applicant who can receive credit will be chosen over the applicant who cannot.

In the U.S. the Center’s preeminent litigation team has helped millions of women and their families by securing Medicaid funding for abortions; striking abortion bans and other access restrictions; and protecting teens’ access to confidential reproductive healthcare services and information. During the past 20 years, Center attorneys have been counsel in virtually every major U.S. Supreme Court case about reproductive rights. In the last two years, the Center litigated over 20 cases on a range of reproductive rights issues. In addition to the U.S. Legal program’s ground-breaking litigation, we have also expanded our advocacy work through (1) the integration of human rights strategies we have pioneered internationally into our domestic work and (2) increased strategic legislative advocacy at the federal and state level. In 2008, we launched a Law School Initiative to invigorate teaching and scholarship on reproductive rights. The initiative will train the next generation of practicing attorneys, officeholders, policymakers and judges to think about reproductive health as a fundamental human right.
Position Summary and Responsibilities: The Center is accepting applications for the position of Visiting Lawyer for the U.S. Legal Program. This position has been created for attorneys who are receiving funding from private law firms or another source to provide in-house pro bono support at a public interest organization for one year or for attorneys who are willing to commit to a volunteer, unpaid position for one year. The Visiting Attorney will play an integral role in various aspects of the U.S. Legal Program’s work. Depending on interest, experience and the needs of the Center, the Visiting Attorney’s role may include research and writing assignments to support litigation, human rights report writing, the law school initiative and state legislative advocacy. Typical assignments may include the following:
• analyzing bills concerning reproductive rights to determine their constitutionality and likely impact on women’s access to reproductive health services;
• providing legal support for legislative advocacy campaigns;
• conducting legal research to support existing cases and, working under the supervision of a staff attorney, conducting research to develop new cases;
• supporting law school initiative projects, such as researching topics for symposia and conferences and assisting in the development of law school curricular materials; and
• supporting human rights reporting projects, including legal and factual research to develop new report topics.
Overall Candidate Requirements: The Center is seeking one or two junior to mid-level associates for these Visiting Attorney positions. The ideal candidate would be 2-3 years out of law school. Applicants should be self-motivated, capable of complex legal analytical work and have an ability to write clearly and effectively. Knowledge of, or commitment to, reproductive rights or other civil rights, human rights and justice issues and/or health and benefits law are a plus.
Duration of Position: To ensure that the Visiting Attorney is fully integrated into the department and to maximize his or her experience at the Center, the optimal commitment would be one year.
Additional Information About the Center: www.reproductiverights.org

Send cover letter and resume to:
Email (preferred): resumes@reprorights.org
