College Student Internships

We are committed to providing college students exposure to professional careers in the justice system. These positions are a great opportunity to learn more about working in a public law office, may qualify for college credit, and will look great on a resume.

• The current salary for summer interns is $18.89 per hour.
• We occasionally offer paid student internships throughout the year.
• Our internships provide:
  • exposure to the multiple facets of a law office;
  • opportunities to learn from professionals about the justice system; and 
  • resume building experience supporting the daily functions of an office and working on special projects.

Unpaid internships 

• We occasionally offer unpaid internships to students in paralegal or legal administrative assistant programs who have completed their first year of school or are in their second year of school. 
• Check with your program director to see if your internship will qualify for school credit.
