FLO is a public interest and civil rights law firm, litigating cases at all levels, from trial to appeal, handling a challenging and demanding caseload of plaintiff-side employment litigation (wage and hour, discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, etc.). FLO also handles immigration cases, including removal defense, family unity, and asylum and refugee law. Another significant portion of FLO’s caseload includes police misconduct, prison conditions, and other civil rights work. Many or most clients are Spanish speaking. Experience in employment law, immigration law, criminal defense, housing law, and/or police misconduct & civil rights is a strong plus, but not absolutely necessary.

FLO pays a living wage based on experience and need. The availability of public interest grants, work study, externship credit or other means of funding or structuring the internship or work experience will be considered.

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and writing sample to R. Michael Flynn, michael@flo-law.com.
