Profile

Unpaid Spring Law Students Internship Program Interns assigned to the Preliminary Hearing Bureaus. Students will be exposed to Criminal Law, Sentencing, Evidence, and Criminal Procedure. Interns will be responsible for handling felony cases in our Regional Court Centers. Will develop, draft and present plea agreements to defense attorneys. Will have contact with police officers and victims on cases. If certified under Rule 38, interns will also conduct preliminary hearings when necessary. Work in the Regional Court Centers is fast paced and hectic and it will give the student a good understanding of the early stages of a criminal prosecution. Interns will also have the opportunity to conduct bench trials in justice courts for offenses ranging from criminal traffic cases to domestic violence assaults. Students may have the opportunity to conduct a DUI jury trial during internship. Will be involved with drafting some responses to defense motions, but the primary focus is courtroom work. Certification under Rule 38 is not required, but those interns who are certified will also conduct preliminary hearings on cases in the EDC and RCC or misdemeanor trials in a justice court will be considered. 1L students will be considered.
