The Williams Institute offers one to two part-time externships to current law students each semester. Externs will assist Williams Institute scholars in conducting legal and policy research and analysis for amicus briefs, white papers, and legislative testimony. Externs will work on a variety of issues, including discrimination, parenting rights, HIV criminalization, bullying, health, youth homelessness, poverty, and other topics that impact LGBT people. Please contact us if you are interested in an externship.
