Participate in the Legal Project

The Legal Project is seeking:

Prospective donors, pro-bono lawyers, researchers, and analysts to participate in this effort.

An Advisory Board will be formed that, among other functions, will review and approve applications for assistance from researchers and analysts. The Legal Project will deploy a variety of tactics, including.
- Briefings by legal experts on how to avoid libelous statements.
- Consultations with libel lawyers before publishing on certain topics.
- Assistance to researchers and analysts who have been unjustly sued.
- Assistance to researchers and analysts to defend themselves against defamation.
Internships are available each semester and during the summer to law students and undergraduates with relevant majors. Applicants should email a resume, short statement of interest, and a writing sample.

Credit toward public interest or pro bono hour requirements may be available. Applicants should check with their schools.
