Summer Law Clerk Responsibilities: Law clerks handle a wide variety of work. Most of this work falls under two categories: (1) intake and case management of individual clients who have been the victims of religious discrimination and (2) research assistance on pending litigation.

For example, interns will work with victims of discrimination to draft letters and EEOC complaints. (2) Research assistance: Law clerks write legal memos on topics connected to organization's pending civil rights litigation.
