Summer Clerk Program

Minami Tamaki summer clerks work full-time, for ten weeks, on various types of cases and legal projects.  They participate in almost all aspects of the litigation process, from intake to case evaluation, from discovery to trial preparation, from actual trial work to settlement negotiations.  Summer clerks should also expect to write numerous substantive legal research memos. 

Our summer clerks should be hard-working, detail-oriented individuals who are genuinely interested in the field of civil rights and plaintiff's side work in general.  We look for clerks who have a demonstrated interest in community involvement and volunteer work, as well as outstanding academic credentials, excellent legal research and writing skills, and a passion for social justice. 

We accept applications for the Summer Clerk Program on a year-round basis.  Interested candidates should e-mail a cover letter, resume, and writing sample to summer@MinamiTamaki.com or mail application materials to:
