The North Carolina Justice Center seeks three law student interns to help us carry out our mission. This opportunity is for the summer of 2023. In 2022, our interns worked on a hybrid basis due to COVID-19 concerns. We will assess circumstances as we get closer to summer 2023 and decide on whether our interns will work on a hybrid basis this summer as well.
