Unpaid Intern - Office of Corporation Counsel

The Office of Corporation Counsel provides legal services and guidance to the American Cancer Society, Inc., the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Inc.  Law clerks will be exposed to a wide variety of subject areas including, general corporate matters, intellectual property, contract drafting and negotiation, privacy, fundraising regulation, tax exempt organizations, employment issues, crisis management, charitable planned giving, advocacy, probate, and risk management.    A clerkship with the Office of Corporation Counsel provides students with a unique opportunity to work in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors.  Although we are a non-profit organization, the Office of Corporation Counsel functions in much the same way that an in-house legal department would in a large for-profit company.  Clerks will be given the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, however, applicants should be aware that litigation matters are not handled internally.
