Kane Center

The clinical law program plans to hire a number of UChicago Law students to work in the various clinics in the summer of 2024. Paid summer positions will be open for the following clinics:

Learn about the clinics in a series of informational sessions from 2023.

Each of these clinics seeks energetic, dedicated and motivated students for these positions. Students selected for the summer program will be assigned to one clinic for the summer and will work on a variety of cases, transactions or other client matters. Students who work in the clinic over the summer are treated as returning clinic students in the fall and may continue with their clinic work during the following academic year.

Students hired for the summer program will work for eight weeks in the summer, from June 3 through July 26. Students will receive compensation for the summer, payable as wages subject to withholding. Students who work in the clinics during the summer may not work as research assistants during the weeks when they are working in the clinic summer program.

Submit your application materials, consisting of a questionnaire, cover letter and resume, between January 8 and January 19, 2024.

Interviews will commence as early as January 22, 2024. Offers will be made shortly thereafter, with subsequent rounds of offers continuing to be made until all positions are filled. Each student applicant will receive a single interview with a clinic faculty member. Students will likely interview with a faculty member from the clinic that the student listed as their first choice. If necessary to balance out the interviews and conduct them in a timely way, students might instead interview with faculty from the clinic that they listed as their second choice. Either way, students should be aware that they are being considered for both their first and second choice clinics. Students are encouraged to use their cover letter, if they wish, to elaborate on their preferences between their first and second choice clinics.

An information session with students will be held January 8, 2024 at 12:15pm in Classroom I. Questions about the summer hiring process should be directed to Jeff Leslie, Director of Clinical and Experiential Learning, jleslie@uchicago.edu.
