CCA's Medical-Legal Partnership Project
is a collaborative project that provides on-site legal assistance,
education and training, and policy advocacy to central Connecticut's
pediatric centers. We are looking for one or two energetic and dedicated
law student interns for the spring 2009 semester and for the summer
of 2009.
Applicants must have excellent writing
and legal reasoning skills, and should be familiar with basic aspects
of poverty and public interest law.
Students must have access to transportation
(car), and will be expected to participate in client interviews,
negotiations, litigation and legal research activities. In addition,
students will participate in and assist attorneys on matters at
the MLPP sites at Saint Francis Hospital, Connecticut Children's
Medical Center, Charter Oak Health Center, Community Health Services,
and The Hospital of Central Connecticut.
Students will work for either one or
two law school credits, and will be expected to complete all of
the requirements of the law school's externship program.
More information about the Medical Legal
Partnership Project may be found at the Center for Children's Advocacy
website at http://www.kidscounsel.org/aboutus_programs_mlpp.htm.
Interested candidates should e-mail
a letter of interest and a resume to Jay Sicklick, Deputy Director
and MLPP Project Director at jsicklick@kidscounsel.org.
