Since Sierra Club v. Morton, the Sierra Club has used the courts to fight for environmental protection at the national, regional, and local levels, giving citizens the means and legal expertise to enforce our hard-won environmental laws and protect our water, air, and wilderness. The Sierra Club Environmental Law Program (ELP) develops and prosecutes the legal strategies for the Sierra Club?s nationwide grassroots campaigns, which focus on promoting smart energy solutions, building safe and healthy communities, and protecting the nation?s wild legacy. ELP leverages all of the Club's tools of democracy by integrating legal advocacy with grassroots organizing, sophisticated communications, a state-of-the-art digital strategies team, and administrative lobbying. With the strength of our nation's first, largest, and most powerful environmental organization, the whole truly is greater than the sum of its parts. ELP attorneys are at the cutting edge of climate change litigation. We work with our allies to reduce the environmental and public health degradation that flows from the lifecycle of fossil fuel use, ranging from destructive mining and fracking to combustion to disposal. At the same time, we advocate for the expansion of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. In the past few years alone, we have achieved tremendous public health and climate change benefits for many communities, including in particular for those engaged in environmental justice struggles. ELP seeks law students passionate about public interest environmental litigation to assist with our strategic lawsuits. Fellows work on all aspects of litigation, including undertaking legal research, preparing written memoranda, and conducting factual investigation. Depending on the cases to which our fellows are assigned, students may also draft notice letters, briefs and other pleadings, attend court appearances, and work on discovery. During the course of the program, fellows typically work with several of the Club?s attorneys, thus gaining exposure to a wide range of litigation styles. Our fellows are encouraged to participate during weekly legal team meetings where we discuss our dockets and strategy. The Sierra Club?s vision is for its staff, volunteer leaders, members, and supporters to reflect the communities of our nation. The Sierra Club is committed to creating a culture in which all people feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued to fully participate.

Many of you are participating in OCI right now, which is great, but we wanted to draw your attention to other exciting opportunities to consider?such as the Summer Legal Intern Program (SLIP) with federal agencies. Summer 2021 Job Opportunities/ Federal Agencies/Deadlines before Labor Day Are you interested in working for a federal agency in D.C. or another major city during your 2 L summer, or are you also thinking ahead to jobs after grad? One of the best ways to land a job after graduation in a federal agency like the Department of Justice, the EPA, the Department of Commerce, the IRS, the Army Corps of Engineers, the SEC and many others, is to secure a summer internship for 2021. These internships can also provide exposure and contacts to other employers in the D.C. area and major cities. The deadlines for these coveted positions are approaching with most of these summer internships closing the end of August for before Labor Day (Sept 7). As an example of one of these great opportunities, we have attached information on the Department of Justice, Environmental and Natural Resources Division Internships and Honors Program, and there are a myriad of others to review and consider. For a comprehensive listing of federal agencies accepting applications for summer 2021, please see the Government Honors & Internship Handbook (also known as the Arizona Handbook) in Symplicity shortcuts- right side of your page, scroll down.
