Intern With Us

Legal Internship Experience
- Assist with artist intakes as they enter our pro bono attorney referral process and observe client meetings. Common matters include contracts, intellectual property, and business entity formation.
- Shadow MDVLA’s monthly Art Law Clinic where artists can receive 30-minute legal consultations with our attorneys.
- Engage in legal research assignments that span different areas of art law.
- Research and draft artist-facing workshops on a multitude of legal topics.
Legal Internship Requirements
- Offered during spring, summer, and fall semesters.
- You must be attending an accredited law school and be able to receive school credit.
- To apply for the summer internship, you’ll need to obtain a public interest fellowship to fund your work. (It is possible to receive these fellowships from the University of Maryland School of Law and University of Baltimore School of Law.)
- Please submit your application for the summer session well in advance of the fellowship deadline to allow us time to determine our ability to sponsor you.
- You will be required to work from our Baltimore office at least two days a week.
