How to apply
Send a resume, cover letter, and writing sample to internships@bpichicago.org, subject line “Internship Application.” BPI may request unofficial transcripts (or class schedule) and list of references from applicants later in the application process.
Funding for law students may be available through the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI), which offers stipends for law student interns. Please visit their website for more details on application cycles and deadlines. BPI also encourages interns to seek school and other external funds. BPI may be able to provide limited financial support to interns who demonstrate that they have exhausted efforts to secure school and other external funds, though we generally do not provide funding to school-year interns. We will work with students so that they may receive academic credit their work if desired.
BPI is an equal opportunity employer. We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. We strongly encourage applications from women, people of color, immigrants, persons with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ community, people with lived experience of poverty, and people from other underrepresented and historically marginalized groups.
Reasonable accommodation will be made so that applicants with disabilities may participate in the application process. Please advise in writing of special needs at the time of application.
