We are currently seeking Rule 9 licensed legal interns or externs for Summer 2027.

​

Interns/externs will work on cases where we represent indigent clients who have the right to appointed counsel on appeal. Interns/externs will be given their own case to work on. Interns/externs will review the case record, draft appropriate motions, identify issues for appeal, conduct legal research, and write the brief to be submitted to the appellate court. If a case is scheduled for oral argument, interns/externs may have the opportunity to argue the case before a panel of appellate judges or a court of appeals commissioner. All of this will be done under the supervision of an experienced appellate attorney.

​

In addition, interns/externs will be able to participate in weekly office-wide strategy meetings where attorneys talk about their cases. Interns/externs are encouraged to share their own thoughts on a case in collaboration with the supervising attorney.

​

Strong applicants will have a basic understanding of criminal law (substantive and procedural) and rules of evidence and a demonstrated interest in working on behalf of indigent clients. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and unofficial transcript to grannisc@nwattorney.net.
