LIDS is currently recruiting team leaders to work on its eight exciting projects! Project partners for the spring include the World Resources Institute, the Public International Law & Policy Group, and Qorax Energy, among others. Descriptions of the projects are available here.
To be eligible to lead a LIDS project, you must be a current graduate student in the Boston area. Team leaders are expected to dedicate 5-7 hours per week to their project.
Team leaders are primarily responsible for managing their project. This role involves liaising with the client and an Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe attorney assigned to the project, communicating frequently with team members, running weekly or bi-weekly team meetings, and ensuring that the final product is of high quality. Leadership, communications skills, and an ability to manage a team are important skills for this role. Expertise in the subject matter, while helpful, is not essential, but a demonstrated interest in the topic is expected. Past leaders have found this experience incredibly rewarding and a lot of fun!
To apply:
(1) fill out the application form.
(2) and send a resume to Sarah Weiner.
Applications are due MONDAY, JAN. 27, 2014 at 7 PM.
All projects described are Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe pro bono projects. LIDS members work on these projects under the supervision of Orrick’s attorneys.
