KIP Spring 2027 - Federal Policy Intern - Pacific Legal Foundation

We fight back. Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) is the nation’s first and most successful public interest law firm dedicated to vindicating individual liberty. PLF has an unmatched record in the US Supreme Court, with 18 victories out of 21 cases heard by the Court. We focus on four core areas: Environment & Natural Resources, Equality & Opportunity, Property Rights, and Separation of Powers.

Although our unofficial slogan is “Suing the government since 1973” we do a lot more than that. PLF's Federal Legal Policy team helps develop and execute strategies to secure federal legislative and executive reforms to expand individual liberty and reform the unconstitutional regulatory agencies.

This is where you come in. You’re an inquisitive, creative, and self-motivated college junior, senior, grad or law student, or recent graduate who knows the principles of liberty and seeks to advance them. You have strong written and oral communication skills and enjoy problem solving.

This internship provides an opportunity for a wide variety of experiences, including:

• Reading and summarizing important legislation and executive and agency action.
• Developing briefing materials for use in meetings with executive and legislative branch officials.
• Attending coalition events, Hill meetings, and other related advocacy efforts.
• Writing blog posts and opinion pieces relating to PLF core federal work.

This position requires in-person presence in PLF’s Arlington (Clarendon) office.
