Paralegal Internship

Divisions/sections:
Government Services and Employment Division
This division includes the following sections: Human Resources

Because the Government Services and Employment Division offers a wide range of different substantive work, from administrative hearings to federal litigation to client advice and appellate litigation, interns are exposed to all of these areas as a part of their experience.

The primary goal of our paralegal internship program is to give paralegal students a hands-on opportunity to experience a unique public law practice. At least 80% of tasks will be substantive in nature and vary depending on the assigned practice area:

 

Paralegal Tasks

Interviewing clients and witnesses
Investigation
Research
Drafting of legal documents
Court or similar observations
Client communication
Document preparation
Discovery production and requests
Electronic filing
Law office management tasks
Attend agency board meetings

 

Non-paralegal Tasks

Filing for others
Transcription
Running work-related errands other than for paralegal tasks

Qualification and Experience Office offers unpaid internships for paralegal students who are currently enrolled in an ABA-approved Paralegal Studies program with an internship academic requirement or elective. The program can begin at any time, depending on availability and class scheduling.
