Public Safety

The Public Safety Section represents the Department of Public Safety, including the Division of State Police, the Division of Fire, Emergency and Building Services; the Military Department; the Department of Correction; the Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, and the Department of Consumer Protection Liquor Control Division. It also provides legal services and representation to a number of associated boards, commissions and agencies, such as the Division of Criminal Justice, the Division of Public Defender Services, the Office of Adult Probation, and the Governor's Office (Interstate Extradition), among others. This is a litigation-intensive unit and based at 110 Sherman Street, Hartford. Interns have opportunities to go to court, mediation sessions, depositions and client preparation meetings. Legal interns draft motions and memoranda of law, which provide an opportunity to develop writing samples for future use. Who should apply: Law students are encouraged and priority will be given to more experienced students. We will also consider applications from undergraduate and paralegal students.



Thank you for your interest in an internship with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). The Attorney General serves as Connecticut’s chief legal officer for civil matters, and the OAG serves as legal counsel to all state agencies. The Connecticut Constitution, statutes and common law authorize the Attorney General to advance the public interest on behalf of the people of our state in legal matters.

Qualification and Experience Internships are unpaid, volunteer positions open to graduate and paralegal, undergraduate, and highly motivated high-school students. Accepted applicants may arrange externships with their schools for course credit for their work in the Office. Positions are also available for work-study students with school stipends. Applicants should have an interest in the law, be able to communicate clearly, have strong research and writing skills and computer proficiency.
