Federal Public Defender’s Capital Habeas Unit – Northern District of Florida

Interested in advocating for individuals on death row? This internship is for you.

The Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of Florida is seeking a for-credit or volunteer Investigation Intern in the Capital Habeas Unit (“the CHU”) for summer semester 2023. The CHU is located in Tallahassee, Florida. The CHU represents indigent, death-sentenced prisoners who are seeking post-conviction relief in federal court. The CHU provides legal representation in federal habeas corpus proceedings and related matters.

The Investigation Intern will work exclusively on death penalty cases. This representation necessarily intersects with intellectual disability, mental health, and substance abuse issues, and the intern can expect some cross-disciplinary projects and experience.
The Investigation Intern’s responsibilities will include the following:

• Assist investigators and attorneys with factual development and case preparation
• Help locate and gather background information on witnesses through records, social media, and other investigative tools
• Organize, review, and summarize case materials
• Create timelines and witness charts
• Attend case meetings and participate in case strategizing
• Possibly attend prison visits and/or witness interviews outside of the office—subject to scheduling and COVID protocols

The Investigation Intern is expected to work 20-40 hours a week. The intern will work in person at the Tallahassee office. The Investigation Intern position is unpaid; however, the CHU can assist the intern in seeking college credit or volunteer hours, if applicable.

This internship is open to all undergraduate and graduate students who have a demonstrated interest in public service, human rights, and/or social justice issues. Strong research and writing ability, people skills, initiative, and a commitment to equal justice are required. This internship is also conditioned on a favorable background check as required by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.

If interested in this internship opportunity, please email a cover letter and your resume to Investigator Jennifer Nepstad.

The internship will remain open until filled, but early applications are strongly encouraged. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The start date for this summer internship will be on or around May 15, 2023.
