Externship Opening:  Homeless Advocacy Externship

There is an opening in the Homeless Advocacy Externship supervised by Professor Adams.  This particular opening would be in the Birth Certificate Clinic at Gulfcoast Legal Services.  This opportunity is a good fit for students who are interested in social justice and/or issues involving homelessness and does not require any prior legal experience.  This opportunity is available to all students who have completed the first-year required curriculum.  Under supervision of the program attorney, the duties of the externship include conducting intake interviews with new clients during the walk-in clinic, researching legal documents and public records databanks throughout the U.S. and overseas, working with partner agencies, and compiling birth certificate applications, among other responsibilities.  This placement would consist of about 10 hours per week of in-office work at Gulfcoast Legal Services, including a one-hour weekly classroom component with Professor Adams and the other students in the externship, to be scheduled at a mutually convenient time either in-person or on-line.  Please contact Professor Adams if you are interested in learning more about this opportunity.
