Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of NPR as an employer.

What you need

  • Must be a current student in an accredited law degree program (1L, 2L, 3L or LLM).
  • Conduct legal research and prepare legal memoranda, contracts, and other legal documents.
  • Participate in client meetings, training, legislative and regulatory meetings.
  • Observe legal proceedings and attend legal training sessions offered through the District of Columbia Bar Association or other local organizations.

Nice to have

  • Relevant background experience and strong academic credentials.
  • Legal research and writing skills.
  • Demonstrated interest in media, technology and/or non profit fields, by participating in relevant school activities, clinics and/or prior legal positions in applicable industries.

What you get

  • Course Credit: This externship is designed to be a learning experience for law students for which school credit must be obtained.
  • School-sponsored Stipends: During the summer, this externship may alternately be compensated through a program in which the student receives a stipend from their school for non-profit work.

Worth weighing

  • This is a for-credit externship, which may limit candidates who are not seeking academic credit.
  • The compensation is not a traditional salary, as it is based on course credit or stipends from schools.
  • The role may require occasional travel, which could add complexity to remote work arrangements.
