inMotion, Inc. Part-Time InternshipsInMotion is a non-profit agency providing free legal services to low-income women throughout New York City, primarily in the areas of matrimonial, family and immigration law; the majority of the women served are survivors of domestic violence. InMotion recruits, trains and mentors volunteer lawyers, legal assistants and law students to provide legal assistance. InMotion also trains and mentors clients to advocate for themselves when self-representation is likely to result in a favorable outcome. New York Law School students may apply to work as Law Student Interns for the fall and spring semesters. These positions would require a minimum of 8 hours per week. The internship is unpaid, but hours worked after a student’s first year of law school would count toward the NYLS Public ServiceCertificate. Positions are available in both the Manhattan and Bronx offices of inMotion. The Intern will work under the direction of inMotion’s staff attorneys and Legal Director. The intern’s job will be varied depending on her/his interests and inMotion’s program needs. Possible assignments include assisting with in-house trainings at large law firms, as well as client intake, case assessment, and brief legal services. The intern may be actively involved in community outreach efforts in all boroughs by helping to organize and conduct information sessions and community outreach programs for community-based organizations on topics of interest to these groups, such as how to secure an order of protection in Family Court. The intern may assist with updating program materials and manuals. The intern may also assist clients with securing uncontested divorces or immigration status through a VAWA self-petition.
