Here at the CLDC we are falling over with gratitude for the interns and law clerks who have helped, and continue to help, us carry the load. Our intern program continues, year after year, to bring us awesome, like-minded folks who are giving with their time and energy to help our various projects run and grow. In return, we can provide class credit, résumé, building and training in skills that will help them become stronger change makers in the future.
