Graduate Fellowships

The Civil Justice Clinic (CivJC) seeks a Research Assistant for the summer to assist with ongoing clients and cases and to conduct any research related to clinic casework. We are particularly interested in an RA who is fluent (or nearly fluent) in Spanish.

The CivJC engages in workers’ rights advocacy for low-wage workers. Our docket  includes clients with wage and hour claims in state court seeking back-pay for lost wages. The research assistant will likely have a variety of advocacy opportunities, such as communicating with clients, drafting research memoranda, coordinating service of process, and trial and hearing prep.

The RA position is available on a part-time basis. While we would prefer students who are able to work in-person for a few hours each week, we will also consider students who will work remotely from their location of choice. OPICS funding is available to 1L and 2L applicants.

If interested, please submit an application, combined into one pdf file, to Niko Perazich at Niko.Perazich@georgetown.edu. The application should include a short cover note or letter, a resume, and an official or unofficial law school transcript.
