Legal clerks will be closely mentored by one of our CLF staff members and have the opportunity to work in a number of our program areas to improve management of natural resources and advance environmental protection and public health throughout New England. In addition to legal research and preparation of materials needed for litigation and other advocacy initiatives, you will also have the opportunity to participate in negotiation, agency and court proceedings, and are encouraged to participate fully in the life of our organization.
