Summer Law Student Internship

Full-time

No

Judicial branch law student internships are unpaid. However, students are encouraged to apply for any public interest stipend or fellowship that their law school may offer.

Summer internships are available for both 1L and 2L students, and semester-based internships are available for both 2L and 3L students. Generally, 2L and 3L students will receive more challenging and complex assignments than 1L students. However, all interns at each court level will have the opportunity to observe court proceedings, review filings and evidence submitted by the parties, and conduct legal research and writing regarding a variety of matters that come before the court. In addition, all students can expect to work closely with the judges or justices and law clerks at their assigned court level.

Law students interested in interning during the fall of their 2L or 3L year should apply by March 15th of the year in which they hope to serve as an intern. Law students interested in interning during the spring of their 2L or 3L year should apply by October 15th of the preceding year. Any applications received after the aforementioned deadlines will be considered on a rolling basis, as space allows.
