Job’o’th’Week (Student Edition)
The Organization
The National Association for Law Placement (NALP) is an association of over 2,500 legal career professionals who advise law students, lawyers, law offices, and law schools in North America and beyond. NALP believes in fairness, facts and the power of a diverse community. NALP staff work every day to be the best career services, recruitment, and professional development organization in the world because they want the lawyers and law students they serve to have an ethical recruiting system, employment data they can trust, and expert advisers to guide and support them in every stage of their careers.
A NALP initiative, PSJD is a unique online clearinghouse for law students and lawyers to connect with public interest job listings and career-building resources. As a collaborative project among over 200 American and Canadian law schools, PSJD is a free resource for law students and alumni of our subscriber schools to search among thousands of public interest job opportunities and employer profiles. Public service employer organizations may also post job opportunities for free. In addition to its database, PSJD offers an online library of educational and career-building resources for those interested in pursuing a career in public service. These resources are publicly available to all website visitors.
The Position
NALP is hiring 2-3 law students to work in our office this summer as PSJD Project Assistants. Project Assistants are the backbone of our service as they complete data entry tasks that keep our service robust and helpful for our users.
Project Assistants are paid $15 per hour and are asked to dedicate 8-10 hours per week to NALP, so this position is perfect for law students who will be completing unpaid internships in D.C. this summer. Project Assistants are required to work in the NALP office during regular business hours, but shifts can be scheduled around other commitments.
The ideal candidates will have an interest in legal public service organizations and have excellent skills in attention to detail and accuracy.
