About the AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania
The AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania is a nonprofit, public-interest law firm providing free legal assistance to people with HIV/AIDS and those affected by the epidemic. We serve the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from our home base in Philadelphia. In addition, we provide legal services in New Jersey at the AIDS Law Project of Southern New Jersey. We have limited practice areas: HIV Discrimination, Confidentiality of HIV-Related Information, Public and Private Benefits, Housing, Estate Documents, Consumer Debt Protection, Immigration, and HIV Criminalization.
The AIDS Law Project Summer Intern Experience
AIDS Law Project internships offer the opportunity for extensive direct client interaction, legal writing, and legal research. Interns conduct client interviews during our daily intake hours and provide follow-up counseling and referrals. Interns also engage in direct client advocacy with government agencies, landlords, insurers, and employers. In addition, interns are given the opportunity to represent clients at administrative hearings and in housing court. The AIDS Law Project has multiple practice units. Summer Interns are assigned to practice units and work under the direct supervision of the attorney who practices in that area. Interns meet weekly with their supervising attorney for case review. In addition, interns participate in weekly meetings where the attorneys and paralegals discuss new cases and decide on initial follow-ups. These meetings expose each intern to the full range of AIDS Law Project practice areas.
