    Work will include legal and fact research, the drafting of memoranda, correspondence, and legal documents, and a variety of other tasks under the supervision of the office's attorneys.

    Strong academic credentials and well-developed writing skills are important qualifications for this position.

    This position is available for a single academic year term, with a possibility for a one-year extension, and does not lead to continuing employment.
