About CAIR Georgia
CAIR-Georgia is the Georgia chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest civil liberties and advocacy group serving the Muslim community. Our mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, protect civil liberties, and empower Muslims in America to advocate for themselves. From restrictions placed on Muslims to practice their religion to profiling and discrimination stemming from a lack of understanding of Islam, the need for CAIR in Georgia is great. The proof is reflected in the dramatic increase in civil rights cases by more than 600% from 2023 to 2024. CAIR-Georgia strives to ensure that Muslims in Georgia enjoy the same protections that all Americans have.
The Opportunity
Gain invaluable first-hand experience in civil rights law with America’s largest Muslim civil rights organization. As a Law Clerk at CAIR-Georgia, you will work on diverse cases, serving clients from various backgrounds. You will contribute directly to our efforts to combat discrimination and promote justice in areas such as immigration (naturalization, adjustment of status, asylum, benefits delays), interactions with law enforcement, and the protection of religious freedom in schools, workplaces, prisons, and other institutions.
