CALLING ALL LAW STUDENTS:

Want to help animals, do rigorous legal work, and have fun?

This is an unpaid summer position. Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC) seeks a candidate who can either obtain outside funding or receive course credit to intern at our animal welfare nonprofit.

About us:

LIC is a 501(c)(3) litigation nonprofit. We work to protect farmed animals.

You may have seen our Costco shareholder derivative suit in The Washington Post, Fox Business, or CNN Business—or even on TikTok. Or perhaps you saw LIC recommended by Animal Charity Evaluators.  

We’re looking for two summer interns to help design and carry out creative, precedent-setting lawsuits!

About you:

• Zealous, creative, enthusiastic current law student

• Entrepreneurial spirit

• Passion for helping farmed animals

• Ability to conduct legal research on Westlaw or Lexis

• Happy to roll up your sleeves and do all types of nonprofit startup work, beyond just legal work.  You don’t need skills or experience in any area—only a willingness to try new things!

• Fast learner

• Kind to our fellow humans

About the role:

Your role will be a combination of (1) helping us design and pursue creative impact litigation for animals, and (2) helping with everything else we need to do, to grow our nonprofit!

Location:  This is a remote, U.S.-based position.

Timing:  Summer 2025

Compensation:  Unpaid

One more thing!

LIC is an equal opportunity organization.  Women and people of color are strongly encouraged to apply.  Applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, disability, age, medical condition, veteran status, marital status, political affiliation, or any other protected characteristic.

Deadline: January 12, 2025

Thank you for your time and your compassion!

Sincerely,
Legal Impact for Chickens
