Thank you for your interest! We are deeply appreciative of the contributions of our staff, law clerks, interns and volunteers; our work would not be possible without them. See below for current opportunities.

We are now accepting applications for Fall 2025 law clerks and Summer 2026 law clerks. Please click here for more information about the Fall 2025 position. Please click here for more information about the Summer 2026 position.
Law clerks are involved in the full range of CGRS’s work and work closely with CGRS lawyers and staff in our efforts to support attorneys representing asylum seekers and advance refugee law and policy. We hire for the summer, fall, and spring terms.
CGRS hires volunteer attorneys for legal internships through the fall, winter, and spring, generally for part-time or full-time positions. Cover letters, CVs, writing samples and 3 references can be sent to cgrshires@uclawsf.edu with the subject line "Volunteer Attorney Application." Applications are considered on a rolling basis.
CGRS relies on support from individuals to continue our work advocating for refugees and human rights.
Dedicated and motivated volunteers play a key role in our work to defend refugees fleeing persecution. While the work varies depending on the skills and interests of each individual, volunteers with CGRS generally take on tasks performing vital human rights/country conditions research, identifying expert witnesses, conducting legal research, and working on development and communications to manage our social media and website. In the past, law students, undergraduate students and recent graduates, and attorneys have volunteered with CGRS.
