About the Program

The Project Analyst Program was founded in 1989, and in recent years has expanded to fifteen Analysts in three offices covering nearly a dozen practice areas. During their two-year tenure, Analysts gain practical experience and valuable exposure to law and business by providing analytical and research support to Mintz’s attorneys and senior professionals. Analysts often have the opportunity to work on political asylum pro bono cases, interacting directly with asylum clients and managing their cases, and occasionally draft petitions and briefs on other human rights issues ranging from homelessness to immigration.

 Additionally, Boston Analysts often coordinate and participate in Mintz’s Domestic Violence Project, which brings attorneys and paraprofessionals together to assist victims of domestic violence. Outside of pro bono legal work, Analysts frequently participate in volunteer projects, work at community care days, and coordinate charity fundraising events.

Your application should include a resume/CV, cover letter, transcript, and writing sample (no more than 5 pages, double-spaced). 

Application Deadline: Friday, May 9, 2025. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
