Specific responsibilities include: assisting with the management of special projects; collection activities of the corporation, including lien filing and prosecution; researching and writing on legal issues affecting the corporation (i.e., patient care, managed care, contracts, government relations, personnel and employee relations) and assisting with litigation and non-litigation matters for the department of Legal Affairs.

A clerkship with the Office of Corporation Counsel provides students with a unique opportunity to work in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors. Although we are a non-profit organization; the Office of Corporation Counsel functions in much the same way that an in-house legal department would in a large for-profit company. Clerks will be given the opportunity to work on a variety of projects; however; applicants should be aware that litigation matters are not handled internally.
