Tommy Raskin Summer Legal Intern Program for Animals

The Tommy Raskin Summer Legal Intern Program for Animals was established in 2021 in memory of Tommy Raskin, who served as a legal intern with us during the summer of 2020 after his first year of law school. Tommy was a visionary and an intellectually rigorous animal activist who brought kindness and insight to every encounter. He had a profound impact on us and inspires us to continue working on the issues he cared about.

Mercy For Animals is deeply grateful to the Raskin family and the Tommy Raskin Memorial Fund for People and Animals, through the Greater Washington Community Foundation, for the opportunity to honor Tommy’s contributions with three paid legal internships. The Raskin legal interns will continue Tommy’s work to end one of the greatest causes of suffering: industrial animal agriculture.

As a Raskin legal intern, you will help shape farmed animal protection law and gain invaluable legal advocacy experience to apply to your future work. You will assist on high-impact projects, such as campaigns, litigation, and policy work, while connecting directly with our team of attorneys to research and analyze federal, state, and local laws; draft memoranda; review undercover footage; execute campaigns; and assist with administrative and corporate governance tasks pertaining to general nonprofit administration and legal compliance. You will leave with hands-on experience in a wide variety of legal disciplines and insight into the field of animal protection.
