Student Staff

Student Staff

To provide Regent Law students with practical experience in the legal protection of human rights, and to serve and support those in the field, the Center has created the Student Staff position. Student Staff perform pro bono legal work for our partner organizations, including International Justice Mission, Alliance Defending Freedom International, Shared Hope, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, Justice Ventures International, Advocates International (Bulgaria and Canada), the Virginia Coalition Against Human Trafficking, Handong International Law School, and others.

Past projects have included topics such as comparative analyses of laws in Uganda surrounding the issue of child sacrifice, the role of technology in anti-trafficking policy efforts in Romania, drafting Periodic Reviews to the United Nations on religious persecution cases in countries such as Afghanistan, and more.

Staff members are student volunteers who commit to provide an average of 5 hours of research per week for their assigned project. Students may apply to be on staff at the end of their 1L fall semester. Students sign up for their preferred project at the beginning of each semester, and research is overseen by a paid CGJ student law clerk (2L/3L) who reports to a faculty supervisor. The projects run through the semester. Students may apply for a staff position at the end of 1L fall, provided they meet the GPA requirements. Clerks are paid for up to 10 hours of work per week 

The online application here opens on November 1, 2025 and is due by January 3, 2026 to be considered for spring semester staff. Along with your online application, submit a cover letter, resume, and unofficial transcript to globaljustice@regent.edu. If 1L grades are released later than January 3, the deadline will be adjusted.
