Summer Law Clerk

Summer Law Clerk

Hillel International's General Counsel Office is seeking a collaborative, efficient, detail oriented summer law clerk to support our team with legal research and analysis. The office provides a wide range of legal services to Hillel International, the world's largest and most inclusive Jewish campus organization serving 160,000 college students each year.

The law clerk will work closely with Hillel's Senior Vice President & General Counsel and Assistant General Counsel, particularly on matters related to non‑profit governance, intellectual property, and any other legal needs that come up. The position is part‑time for 10‑15 hours/week, running from June 8, 2026 to July 24, 2026, and offers $20/hour. The position is mostly remote, with expectations to meet in person in the Chicago coworking space roughly once every one to two weeks.

Because of this, the candidate must be based out of Chicago this summer. The clerk should either be an incoming 2L, 3L, or recent law school graduate. Interested candidates may reach out to Assistant General Counsel Ariel Katz at akatz for additional information.

In 1923, Rabbi Benjamin Frankel started Hillel with humble means, a noble mission and a breathtaking vision: to convey Jewish civilization to a new generation. Today, Hillel International continues to enrich the lives of Jewish students and is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world at nearly 1,000 colleges and universities across North America and around the world. As Hillel evolves as an organization, the mission remains steadfast: to create lasting connections with every Jewish student that foster an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel and train them to become the next Jewish leaders.

Hillel is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an accepting and inclusive environment for all.
