Day(s) and hours are flexible. DRT Summer externs help to advance DRT\u2019s mission in a number of ways, including legal research &amp; help with trial preparation, legislative analysis, and meeting with DRT clients. DRT externships are unpaid, but Memphis Law will grant pro bono credit. Organization and communication skills will be key for any successful extern. It is likely that externships will require some if not all remote work, depending on Covid-19 related policies. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5ig29\" data-offset-key=\"ad6q9-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"ad6q9-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5ig29\" data-offset-key=\"7cr4d-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"7cr4d-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"7cr4d-0-0\">Application Instructions:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5ig29\" data-offset-key=\"da2vk-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"da2vk-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"da2vk-0-0\">To apply, please send your resume, cover letter, and a writing sample to Sherry Wilds via email at <a href=\"sherryw@disabilityrightstn.org\">sherryw@disabilityrightstn.org<\/a>. <strong>The deadline to apply <\/strong>for the Summer externship <strong>is February 20th, 2021.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"da2vk-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"da2vk-0-0\">For more information on the organization, go to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.disabilityrightstn.org\/\">https:\/\/www.disabilityrightstn.org\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disability Rights Tennessee (DRT) is a nonprofit legal services organization dedicated to protecting the rights of Tennesseans with disabilities.
