Office Locations

Land of Lincoln’s five regional offices serve central and southern Illinois. Each office serves a multi-county area. Offices are located in Alton and East St. Louis in the St. Louis Area; Carbondale, the home of Southern Illinois University; Springfield, the state capitol; and Champaign-Urbana, the home of University of Illinois.

Clerkships/Internships

Land of Lincoln encourages applications for paid and unpaid clerkships from highly qualified law students interested in exploring public service work. While the specific work will vary from office to office, law clerks can participate in a range of legal activities, including client interviews and assistance with initial intake, negotiations with the opposing party, legal research and writing, community education and outreach or participation in administrative hearings or court proceedings. Students who have completed their second year of law school and have been certified under Illinois’ 711 rule may have the opportunity to directly handle a court proceeding under the supervision of a Land of Lincoln attorney. Interested applicants should directly contact the local office in which they are interested.
