Profile

Law Student Internship, Academic Year The law students serve as appellate clerks. A limited number of students, who have demonstrated strong research and writing skills, are placed as appellate clerks. Students work on a range of projects, from short, discrete research assignments to lengthy writing assignments. Writing skills are stressed equally with research skills, and students who have the persistence, skill and patience are encouraged to continue to work on writing projects until the piece is ready to be filed in court in the student’s words. Students complete 1+ significant piece of legal writing appropriate as a writing sample during the clerkship. Students are assigned to a particular appeals attorney for each project and both research and writing are supervised closely and an effort is made to expose students to a variety of research and writing styles. Some opportunity for appellate oral advocacy before the RI Supreme Court may be available. A commitment of 16+ hours/week is required.
