Legal Intern, San Francisco office

We are currently accepting applications for legal intern positions with California Lawyers for the Arts' Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) in the San Francisco office. LRS refers clients to members of the C.L.A. Attorney panel for consultation on a wide variety of art-related matters such as copyright and trademark protection, contract review and negotiation, business partnerships and nonprofit incorporation. Interns will interview clients and perform case intake; they will draft brief legal memoranda to attorneys, presenting the legal issues and relevant facts, and locate appropriate attorneys for clients. Interns will also assist with educational programs. Internships are unpaid but we can provide an opportunity to earn credit through your institution.

To apply, please submit a letter of interest and a current resume to Bob Pimm at California Lawyers for the Arts, Fort Mason Center, C-255, San Francisco, CA 94123. Materials can also be faxed to (415) 775-1143 or emailed to bob.pimm@calawyersforthearts.org. No phone calls please.

Examples of ongoing programs that may be accepting internship applications include:

Lawyer Referral Service, which annually refers over 1,200 Californian artists and arts organizations to our panel attorneys;

Arts Arbitration & Mediation Services, which assists disputants to resolve their arts related controversies through conciliation, mediation, arbitration, meeting facilitation or early neutral evaluation;

Educational Programs, which provides part day or full day seminars on special topics of interest to a particular sector of C.L.A.'s membership (e.g., taxation, music business, forming a nonprofit organization, artist's housing);

Arts & Community Development, which provides arts jobs training, placement and mentoring opportunities for interested teenagers and adults.
