Jobs and Internships

The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Founded in 1966 by attorneys who represented civil rights movements in the South, CCR is a non-profit legal and educational organization committed to the creative use of law as a positive force for social change. Our work began on behalf of civil rights activists, and over the last four decades CCR has lent its expertise and support to virtually every popular movement for social justice.

CCR is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer and actively recruits people of color, women, persons with disabilities, and persons with diverse gender and sexual identities.

Internships
For the last 15 years CCR has trained the next generation of "people's lawyers" through its renowned Ella Baker Summer Fellowship Program. Law students assist CCR attorneys with their case load while taking part in educational seminars and talks (more about the Ella Baker Program). CCR also has numerous other internships both legal and otherwise, and is willing and able to offer credit when appropriate. CCR also welcomes a limited number of high school, undergraduate and recent college graduates for internships throughout the year. Please check this page regularly as internships will be posted here first.
