Dear Mr. Johnson: 代写申请文书
I am a first-year law student at Harvard Law School and I am writing to apply for a volunteer internship in your office this coming summer. I was excited to learn about Bay Area Advocates from Mary Sinclair, a staff attorney in your office who spoke at a Legal Practice Settings panel at Harvard Law School last month. Having grown up in San Francisco, I would like to return for the summer and hope to find an internship where I can continue my commitment to civil rights work. 代写申请文书
During the summer after my junior year at Duke, I volunteered at Ackerman & Alter, a small civil rights law firm that specializes in employment discrimination. My case research explored the civil rights of gay people who were denied jobs for which they were fully qualified and women who received less pay than men who worked in similar positions. I learned a great deal in a relatively short amount of time about legal research and writing about civil rights litigation. It was this fulfilling experience that prompted me to go to law school, where I could pursue civil rights work more directly.
During my first semester at Harvard, I have continued to concentrate on civil rights issues by volunteering with the Boston chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. 代写申请文书
I have assisted our lawyers on issues ranging from death penalty policies to fair housing legislation. My desire to become a civil rights advocate has only increased as a result. I thoroughly believe that my background, as well my familiarity with the San Francisco area and its political landscape, would enable me to make significant contributions to Bay Area Advocates.
Enclosed is a detailed resume that highlights my experience and education. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss summer employment and can be reached at (617)495-8856. I will call your office next week about the possibility of arranging an interview while I am in San Francisco the week of January 22. Thank you in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
Douglas D. Conti
