Research assistance is needed on a project involving ethical and other issues facing government lawyers in rendering advice on sensitive national security legal matters. Assignments will involve research into the available literature, with occasional requests for short memoranda summarizing the materials identified. Short meetings to discuss the research may also be requested from time to time, but likely no more than once or twice a month.
Second- and third-year law students are preferred, and it would be helpful but not required if applicants have already taken legal ethics and constitutional law. The current expectation is that two research assistants would be needed for this project.
The deadline for applications is Monday, September 15. Applicants should apply directly to Professor Bob Bauer at RBauer@perkinscoie.com, with a copy to his assistant Hetty Dekker at hm37@nyu.edu.
