Seeking Summer 2025 Legal Research Assistants
The Climate Change & Animal Agriculture Litigation Initiative (CCAALI) — a project of the Law, Environment, and Animals Program (LEAP) at Yale Law School — invites applications for full-time summer 2025 research assistant positions. CCAALI is focused on exploring the potential for litigation to help address the climate harms of animal agriculture. See more detail on the initiative below.
The summer research assistants will work on a range of legal issues at the intersection of climate change and industrial animal agriculture. These are full-time positions with a salary of $7,000 for 10 weeks of full-time work ($17.50/hour). These positions are open to students at U.S. law schools who will have completed at least one year of law school. Students graduating from law school prior to the summer of 2025 are also eligible to apply, as are LLM students. This position could be remote or in New Haven.
Interested applicants should email a cover letter, resume, writing sample, unofficial transcript, and contact information for two references to daina.bray@yale.edu, with a cc to caroline.zhang.cz443@yale.edu. (Transcripts, if not immediately available, can be sent after the initial application.) The priority deadline is December 23, 2024.
