Legal Internships

At TLPI, we are proud to offer challenging and diverse internship opportunities for law students. Our internships are flexible and provide a number of benefits, interns can work on-site in our West Hollywood office and, in some cases, may work remotely with our various satellite offices and staff members throughout the country. TLPI often works on the cutting edge of legal and policy issues impacting Native people and Indian country.

 

In addition, TLPI has an exceptional record of working with our legal interns in their efforts to secure school credit and outside funding to support their work with TLPI. Our team is committed to providing a flexible, challenging, and meaningful work experience that will expand your professional network and enhance the skills needed for academic and professional development.

TLPI strives to have the hiring process complete within 6 weeks of the application deadline. Our hiring process involves two main phases:

 

   1. An internal application materials review

   2. An interview with prospective applicants

 

All applicants will be promptly notified of their application status at the end of each application phase.  As such, TLPI discourages emails or calls to check on the status of your application. However, please contact us if you receive another offer and would like to know the status of your application or withdraw your application. We do not want an applicant jeopardizing other legal internship opportunities due to the timing of our selection process.
