Law Clerks, Externs, & Interns

Advocates for the West is an important training ground for the next generation of leaders in environmental law and advocacy. Through our Environmental Law Clerks, Externs, and Interns Program we host, train, and mentor students and recent graduates from leading environmental law schools and colleges across the United States. Participants receive high-quality mentoring and boots-on-the-ground litigation experience. The program is a springboard to a successful career in public interest environmental law and advocacy and is critical to the future of our mission.
We host two paid law clerks each summer, in addition to fall, spring, and summer externs and summer communications and engagement interns. Advocates for the West thanks our 2024 law clerks, externs, and interns, who contributed their time and talent to our work. We wish them success in their pursuits!
