Department of Law Extern

The Department of Law is interested in placing law graduates and licensed attorneys in our Extern Program. This program is designed to provide participants with a challenging, unpaid externship that reflects the demands and rewards of public service.  This program is for attorneys who have been hired by law firms, but their start dates have been deferred or they have been offered a “sabbatical” leave to provide pro bono work.

The participant will be assigned to one of the practice divisions within the law department.  He or she will be assigned a supervisor/mentor who will coordinate assignments.

If you have any questions or interest in applying for this program, please contact Director of Attorney Recruitment & Professional Development, Shelley Sandoval dol.application@cityofchicago.org

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT:
Residency is not required for these unpaid positions.
