Profile

Honors Internship Program, Summer 2021 The Law Department's varied divisions offer summer interns hands-on practical experience. Interns regularly draft motion papers and briefs that are filed in court. Many take or defend depositions. The intern will be placed in the General Litigation division. Interns engage in nearly every aspect of the Division's casework. Interns are typically given at least one case that they will manage from inception, including analyzing the claims made against the City, strategizing with supervisory staff on how to approach the case, drafting the initial response, and, if the case demands, beginning the discovery phase. Can expect to work closely with Division attorneys on more complex matters, performing legal research and preparing legal memoranda. Will also have the opportunity to participate in and observe depositions, witness interviews and court appearances. Each summer intern is assigned a mentor. Each intern should receive several major assignments during the summer with different attorney supervisors. The number and nature of assignments vary by division. Should be enrolled in an accredited US or Canadian law school. The interns should work eight of the nine weeks of program, which normally starts the first Monday in June and ends the first Friday in August. Second year summer interns will be preferred. Note: Weekly stipends of $750 are offered to all second-year summer interns and most first-year summer interns. Out-of-town law student interns may be eligible for free summer housing.
