Legal Internship Summer 2024
About CAC
The Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC) is dedicated to fulfilling the inherently progressive promise of the Constitution’s text, history, and values. The Constitution is our national charter, amended over the generations to become more just, equitable, and inclusive. As a nonprofit law firm and think tank, we work in our courts, through our government, and with legal scholars to make real the rights and freedoms the Constitution provides for all in America, with meaningful justice and equality for all.
To make real the promises of our national charter, we must honor and celebrate different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds, and especially the contributions of historically marginalized communities. As an organization, we make every effort to live by these ideals and help create the conditions that will allow all individuals and communities to thrive.
We are committed to the recruitment, development, and retention of talented and diverse staff who believe in true justice and equality for all people. CAC is an equal opportunity employer, and we particularly encourage people who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latino/Latina or Latinx, Asian American or Pacific Islander, and from other underrepresented communities to join us.
CAC has adopted a hybrid work schedule with all staff working in the Washington, DC office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. All CAC staff must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to work in the office.

Summer Internship
CAC is now accepting 2024 summer internship applications from first-, second-, and third-year law students. This is a 10-week internship running from May to July, 2024, with a stipend of $3,500.
Summer Interns will be immersed in all aspects of CAC’s substantive legal work. Ideal candidates will have the following:
- strong academic research and writing skills,
- excellent attention to detail,
- demonstrated dedication to a progressive vision, and
- ability to be a team player as well as a self-starter.
Summer Interns report to CAC’s Chief Counsel.
How To Apply
Please send a cover letter, résumé, copy of your transcript, and writing sample to Keo Xiong at keo@theusconstitution.org.
Recognizing that many law schools encourage first-year law students not to apply until December 1, we will continue to review applications after that date, although we encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible after December 1.
