We are seeking a current law student to join our dynamic team as a Year-Round Law Clerk!
This law clerk position offers the candidate the opportunity to gain experience in a corporate legal office through support of Sandia attorneys in a variety of legal subject matter areas, including privacy law, regulatory compliance, procurement and transactional law, and other corporate legal matters, as well as occasional opportunities to assist on labor and employment law and ERISA/employee benefits matters. Expected research covers not only multiple areas of law, but also multiple sources, federal and state common law, statutory law, and regulations. The law clerk is expected to exercise independent judgment concerning how the law will apply to specific facts and to communicate this determination to a supervising attorney in a concise manner with legal support. The law clerk prepares legal memoranda for attorney use both internally and occasionally for litigation. The law clerk is also expected to draft succinct and understandable educational materials for non-attorney Sandia employees to help them comply with relevant laws and regulations that impact their work.

-
Conduct legal research and writing
-
Support attorneys on a variety of legal subject areas and matters, with a particular emphasis on privacy matters
