The Tempe, Arizona office of Rothstein Donatelli LLP is seeking a summer law clerk for its Indian law practice. Rothstein Donatelli has offices in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as in Tempe, Arizona where we specialize in federal Indian law, including gaming, economic development, Indian Child Welfare Act, Indian health law, civil litigation and transactional matters. Rothstein Donatelli is committed to advancing the sovereign rights of Native American tribes. More information about the Firm is available at www.rothsteinlaw.com.

The law clerk will be given a variety of real work assignments for tribal clients and will learn what a career in a boutique Indian law firm entails. You will be assigned an attorney mentor but you will be working with and receiving feedback from each of the four attorneys in our Tempe office.
