By: Kerry K. Patterson | Partner | kerry.patterson@procopio.com

Procopio’s Native American Law Practice Group is committed to doing its part to empower future leaders in Indian Country by providing paid internships to Native American law students and law students with a strong interest in federal Indian law and/or tribal law. We’re now on the lookout for Summer 2022 candidates.

The Native American Law Internship provides an opportunity for two law students to gain hands-on experience dealing with everyday legal issues facing Native American communities. Interns are involved in matters that deal with specific Indian law-related legal practice matters and other legal problems facing tribal governments and Native entities.

Many past interns hold leadership positions in law and government, providing an active alumni network for program participants. We remain active with our alumni to mentor and prepare them for success in the legal profession as they grow their careers.

Please join us in identifying qualified legal students within Native American communities that may be interested in being part of this engaging opportunity. Applications are due Friday, October 15th by 5 p.m. PST.

Internship applications should include:

  1. A writing sample
  2. Law school transcript
  3. Resume
  4. Cover letter

The program is ten to twelve weeks and begins after May 15, 2022. Applications should be emailed (with “2022 Summer Internship” in the subject line) to: kerry.patterson@procopio.com or sent via USPS mail to:
