Moderate Means Program Summer Internship

MODERATE MEANS PROGRAM

A few spots remain for the Moderate Means Program this summer. To volunteer, please send an email of interest and your resume to Clay Wilson at wilsoncl@seattleu.edu. The program will accept the first 15 students to apply with a final deadline of April 22.

The Moderate Means Program provides the opportunity to build your issue-spotting and client interviewing skills; explore family, consumer, housing and unemployment benefit law; and help moderate income clients access low-cost legal services.

 This experiential program will specifically allow you to:

·         Learn about the legal issues that low and moderate income clients most often encounter;

·         Conduct client interviews via telephone;

·         Perform legal analysis of interesting cases;

·         Work with attorneys throughout the state to provide representation.

A 3L recently said, “This experience has been the most engaging experience in law school yet, and has given me more confidence in client interaction and my ability to research any civil law topic that comes up.” 

If you have questions, please contact Moderate Means Program Staff Attorney Clay Wilson.
