Legal Undergraduate Intern
Location: Washington, DC

Closing Date: November 1

Each year, 40,000 people in the U.S. die from gun violence. We can change that. No organization has a more comprehensive and systematic approach to ending America’s gun violence epidemic. They say it can’t be done. But we know Americans can do anything. Even end this epidemic of gun violence. For we are more powerful than any problem when we work as one. Now is the time to unite people, from coast to coast, young and old, liberal and conservative, fed up and fired up, and free our country from what is killing us. It’s in our hands.

Job Summary:

Interns will take on a variety of projects critical for the development and litigation of potential and current cases with our Affirmative Litigation team, as well as become involved in our constitutional space. They will work closely with Brady lawyers to draft memos on assigned topics, conduct factual research, and delve into some of the most rapidly developing areas of law. They will garner knowledge of several of our current gun industry accountability cases and Second Amendment amicus portfolio. They will become part of the innovative and academically stimulating environment that helps to create strong gun violence prevention precedent throughout the country.

Interns will gain hands-on litigation experience and will support all phases of legal advocacy, including developing new cases, helping prepare for trial and depositions, assisting with discovery, monitoring and exploring developments in gun violence litigation, and conducting research. Aimed at ending chronic violence that perpetuates cycles of poverty, most of our litigation is working to deter gun suppliers’ exploitation of low-income communities. Our interns support civil suits against the gun industry’s distribution of firearms to dealers despite knowing that those dealers will sell guns to traffickers, allow straw purchases, and fail to conduct proper background checks.

Interns will also have the opportunity to help conduct research for amicus briefs and track and analyze constitutional law issues (including the Second Amendment). Finally, our interns would be able to assist in our racial justice research.

Brady is looking for undergraduate students who are passionate about gun violence prevention, impact litigation, and racial justice.

The Bethany Beach Police Department is still taking applications for summer 2025 Seasonal Police Officers. Every year, this agency hires approximately 17 young men and women who want to gain hands-on experience as police officers. These individuals perform basic law enforcement duties under supervision during the summer months (May-Sept).  While doing so, the agency mentors them, trains them and works with them to gain internship requirements if needed. In return, their employment helps the town provide more boots on the ground for the safety of visitors and residents during the summer beach season.
