The Michigan State Appellate Defender Office (SADO) is seeking first and second-year law students committed to public service, racial equity, and social justice to join a Summer Internship Program. SADO provides representation to poor people who appeal their state criminal convictions and those sentenced to juvenile life without parole in resentencing proceedings pursuant to the United States Supreme Court’s decisions in Miller v Alabama (2012) and Montgomery v Louisiana (2016).
The program will run from late May through August 2022; precise dates are flexible.
Due to limited resources, the internship opportunities are currently unpaid. Applicants are encouraged to seek funding from their academic institutions or third-party funders, and SADO will share opportunities for financial assistance as it learns of them.
Those interested in applying should e-mail a resume and cover letter together in a single PDF file to internships@sado.org.
Applications should be submitted by February 1, 2022 at 5 p.m. Decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Anyone with questions can email: internships@sado.org.
