The Wild Equity Institute ("WEI") is currently accepting applications for legal internships for the fall of 2013.
WEI is a San Francisco-based organization with a national and international mission: to build a healthy and sustainable global community for people and the plants and animals that accompany us on Earth. As such, WEI is engaged in cutting-edge litigation at the intersection of the environmental justice and grassroots conservation movements, and our cases highlight the two movements' shared moral foundation: equity, the creation of a more just and fair world.
WEI is dedicated to conducting the highest quality legal work within the movement. We litigate under laws such as the Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Water Act, and the Civil Rights Act in an effort to create a more equitable world for all. We seek creative, motivated, dedicated, and good-humored law students to join us in these efforts. A background in ecology and/or civil rights is preferred.
WEI offers a flexible work environment with excellent mentoring opportunities. Specific work projects may include drafting complaints; researching various aspects of civil procedure and environmental law for inclusion in summary judgment motions; and preparing administrative petitions.
