Becket Fund Internship Program

We host law and undergraduate interns at our office in Washington, DC in the summer and regular academic terms. To apply for an internship, send a cover letter, résumé, transcript, list of references, and writing sample to Lori Windham via mail (1350 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 605, Washington, DC 20036) or email.  For summer internships, The Becket Fund conducts interviews in January and February, with decisions made around March.  Please note that applications from 1L law students are accepted starting December 1. For internships throughout the academic year, applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

International Program Internships (academic year)

The International Internship Program is conducted during the academic year for undergraduate, graduate, or law students interested in the areas of international law, comparative law, European law, education, and political science. International Program Interns are individually responsible for discreet research, writing, or public education projects, while receiving direction and supervision. Internships are both an opportunity to learn and to serve.

There are two positions available per academic term of Fall (September - December) and Spring (January - May).  Interns may work part or full time, and may be able to earn academic credit for their work.

Candidates should possess a strong commitment to The Becket Fund's mission to advance human rights and religious freedom for people of all faiths; excellent writing skills; a sense of initiative; creativity; and integrity. Interested applicants should send:

1. a cover letter expressing area(s), topic(s), and/or project(s) of interest, attendant qualifications, and dates of availability;
2. a résumé including references; and 
3. an unpublished writing sample of any length on an any academic or legal topic
