Legal Intern – Spring, Summer, Fall
Our Children’s Trust is seeking several law students interested in public interest environmental
law during the spring, summer, and fall of 2013. Summer internships are 10-weeks, full-time.
Spring and fall internships can be full- or part-time, and work can be done remotely or in our
office in Eugene, Oregon.
Our Children’s Trust (OCT) is a nonprofit organization with the purpose to protect earth’s
natural systems and atmosphere for current and future generations. OCT is coordinating a legal
campaign in every U.S. state and against the federal government on behalf of youth based on the
public trust doctrine. The TRUST Campaign uses Atmospheric Trust Litigation (ATL) as the
legal tool to compel governments to act and consists of litigation and administrative petitions to
force the carbon reduction necessary to restore climate equilibrium on the planet. To that end,
OCT is working with attorneys and top climate scientists from around the world. OCT is also
part of a coalition of organizations coordinating a global youth-led climate legal initiative.
The legal intern will assist OCT’s legal efforts in state and federal actions, and internationally.
The intern’s work will directly support ATL and will include assisting attorneys around the
country and world in their ATL efforts; working with experts; conducting legal research; drafting
legal memoranda; drafting, reviewing, and editing complaints, briefs, and motions; and assisting
with discovery.
We rely heavily on legal interns for these tasks, placing a premium on careful, accurate, and selfdirected
work. Each intern is responsible for monitoring her/his own workload. Julia Olson, OCT
Executive Director and an attorney on the federal ATL case, will supervise the intern, providing
the intern with varied work experiences and holding regular meetings with the legal interns to
review and discuss their work.
The intern will be exposed to administrative, jurisdictional, statutory, and constitutional issues in
multiple jurisdictions. This is an unprecedented opportunity for a law student to be part of a
cutting-edge legal strategy, by involving an ancient doctrine of sovereign responsibility and
working with some of the top attorneys and scientists from around the world to address the
climate crisis.
