Summer Law Intern
About The Position
The Knights of Columbus (KofC) is one of the world’s premier Catholic lay organizations, with over two million members throughout the globe. Our organization is dedicated to the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism, and supports families, parishes, and communities through charitable works and a highly rated insurance program offering life, annuities, long-term care, and disability. In keeping with our founder Father Michael McGivney’s vision to safeguard families’ finances, we provide opportunities for members and other clients to align financial decisions with Catholic values. Our financial strength is measured by AA+ rating by Standard & Poor’s; A+ Superior rating from AM Best for 40 consecutive years; more than $123 billion of life insurance in force; and $31.1 billion of total assets under management. Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors, a wholly owned subsidiary of Knights of Columbus with $28 billion of assets under management, provides Catholic-compliant investment strategies for both institutional and individual investors. When members purchase insurance policies, surpluses from our business operations support works of charity. When clients do business with Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors, it is with the assurance that their funds are invested according to Catholic guidelines. And when donors give to the United in Charity Annual Appeal or open an account with Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund, it is with the gratification that they’re continuing Father McGivney’s legacy of generosity toward the most vulnerable. The Knights of Columbus Internship program is focused on providing students hands-on experience. The 10-week internship will run from June 1, 2026 - August 14, 2026 offering a meaningful paid summer experience working on real business projects that help meet our company's needs and promote both personal and professional development for the intern. The KofC is seeking two highly motivated and detail-oriented 1L Summer Law Clerks to join our team for Summer 2026. This is an excellent opportunity for a first-year law student to gain hands-on legal experience in multiple legal practice areas, working alongside highly experienced attorneys practicing law in areas of corporate governance, insurance, business operations, employment, tax, litigation, contracts, intellectual property, international humanitarian aid, and more. Please make sure to include a cover letter, unofficial law school transcript, and a short writing sample (5-10 pages) with your application submission.
