Emilia Lechuga-Bass Civil Rights Internship
Litt, Estuar, Harrison & Kitson, LLP, a private civil rights law firm, is accepting applications for its annual civil rights internship for recent college graduates. The internship is intended to provide one year of experience working in a civil rights/public interest law firm before attending law school.
This internship is named for Emilia Lechuga-Bass. Emilia was a young woman planning to attend law school with the hope of practicing civil rights law. She was going to work at the firm prior to attending law school. Emilia, who came from a politically active family in Los Angeles, was to work on a range of issues to introduce her to the world of civil rights law. She was to more closely link the firm’s civil rights impact work with the goals and needs of Los Angeles communities by partnering with community organizations. Tragically, Emilia was killed in a car accident just before beginning her work at the firm.
So that others may reach their goals, the firm has created an annual internship in Emilia’s name to provide experience to young people hoping to attend law school with the goal of practicing civil rights and public interest law. The internship will provide an introduction into these areas by gaining real world experiences in a civil rights/public interest law firm.
Applications are due annually by March 1st. A decision will be made by April 30th. The internship will last from July 1 to June 30, year-to-year.
