Electronic Frontier Foundation Summer 2026 Legal Intern

EFF hires 1L and 2L law students as paid summer legal interns at its San Francisco office. Legal interns work directly with EFF staff attorneys on cutting-edge cases and projects in civil liberties and technology — free expression online, government surveillance, digital privacy, intellectual property, and innovation policy. Interns research and write briefs, motions, and memoranda, draft amicus briefs, and contribute to public-facing policy documents. Summer internships are 10 weeks, full-time, and paid at a set stipend. Applications for Summer 2026 required a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and transcript and closed in January 2026.
