Summer 2021 Legal Intern

The National Abortion Federation (NAF)

-

Washington, DC

The National Abortion Federation is the professional association of abortion providers in North America. NAF’s legal interns work on legal issues impacting abortion providers, and some state/federal abortion policy as that work arises. Projects vary, but legal internships at NAF typically include significant legislative and regulatory research at the federal, state, and local level, and writing related thereto. Often, legal interns also have the opportunity to draft a comment or testimony on NAF’s behalf, though that depends on the legal and policy landscape during the time interns spend at NAF. Legal interns will build legal research skills and gain a better understanding both of the legal landscape in which abortion care is provided in the U.S., and of the legal needs of abortion providers.

Duties Include:

Performing legal research

Drafting memoranda, fact sheets, issue papers, and alerts

Assisting in other policy and legal projects as needed

Qualifications:

Demonstrated pro-choice commitment

One or more years of law school

Coursework in constitutional law
