Job Description
Everytown Law seeks talented, creative, and thoughtful future attorneys to work as summer legal interns.
We are looking for law students who are ready and eager to engage in high-level constitutional and impact litigation and join the fight to save lives. Internships are available for summer 2026 and can be based in either our New York City or Washington, D.C. office.
Everytown Law is part of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, the education, research and litigation arm of the nation’s leading gun violence prevention organization. We are the largest and most experienced team of impact litigators in the country dedicated to advocating in the courts for gun violence prevention—one of the most pressing issues of our time.
Everytown Law engages in two primary areas of litigation:
Affirmative litigation to seek accountability and reform of the gun industry’s dangerous business practices, take on dangerous gun lobby-backed laws that conflict with constitutional protections, and enforce gun violence prevention laws.
Defense of common-sense, life-saving gun laws against Second Amendment challenges in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decisions in NYSRPA v. Bruen and United States v. Rahimi, under the umbrella of Everytown Center for the Defense of Gun Safety.
Our team also produces independent and rigorous legal scholarship on the Second Amendment and other gun violence prevention issues. You can learn about our team and its work at
SCOPE OF WORK
We believe every person has the right to be free from gun violence. It’s our mission to make this belief a reality. We are looking for law school students for ten-week paid summer internships ($25 per hour) who want to use their skills and public-spirited ambitions to join us in advocating on behalf of those most affected by gun violence, including marginalized communities. Our practice also includes representing individuals and elected officials seeking to advance gun safety in their communities. Our interns will have a high level of responsibility and be fully involved in our work and practice including federal and state court litigation practice, legal research and analysis, strategy development, complaint drafting, trial court and appellate brief writing as well as Second Amendment research and amicus brief development.
