As part of a grant from the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation to expand legal services for veterans across Ohio, Pro Seniors, Inc. is hiring a law student for an in-office internship from March 2026 to August 2026 (flexible regarding exact start and end date).  The work during the school year will be on a part-time basis that can fit with the intern’s school schedule.

The internship will emphasize networking and outreach with veteran organizations throughout Ohio, as well as collaborating with attorneys on legal issues affecting veteran clients. This is a paid position, with a total compensation of $9,000 for 500 hours, equivalent to $18 per hour. Interns will be paid bi-monthly. Interns generally have flexibility regarding their start and end dates. Interns may also request time off for vacations.

The internship begins with an office orientation and training on common public benefits, followed by assignments from Pro Seniors’ staff attorneys. A supervising attorney will manage intern assignments, provide ongoing guidance, and support interns throughout orientation and training. Interns will work directly with the attorneys who assign their tasks and will have access to their own computer, workspace, and office supplies.

The type of work interns assist with will vary depending on current organizational needs. In general, interns may be involved in:

• Legal research and memorandum drafting
• Preparation of legal documents
• Administrative support, such as organizing case files

Interns are also encouraged to attend hearings, attorney meetings, meetings with other advocates, and relevant trainings when eligible. Opportunities to interact with clients—typically by phone—may be available as part of the internship experience. While interns may have flexible schedules Monday through Friday, they are expected to maintain consistent hours so that staff know when they are available. Interns are welcome to take vacations or trips, provided they notify the supervising attorney as far in advance as possible.

Pro Seniors’ internship offers valuable experience working in a legal non-profit setting and provides a broad understanding of legal issues affecting older adults in Ohio. Staff attorneys at Pro Seniors typically handle cases involving administrative law, public benefits, consumer law, landlord-tenant law, pensions, estate/probate law, and other elder law matters. Pro Seniors, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer and strives to foster an inclusive, welcoming environment for all individuals.
