The **Members Only** offers an exceptional opportunity for law school students to gain real-world courtroom experience as a certified intern. This fall semester internship allows students to represent clients in court and participate in all aspects of the legal process under the supervision of a licensed public defender.

Certified interns are given the responsibility of preparing cases outside of court and conducting pre-trial and post-trial hearings, and in some cases, jury trials. This demanding internship provides a unique opportunity to develop and hone essential advocacy skills. To ensure that interns are well-prepared for their duties, a weeklong rigorous training program is provided before the start of the internship.

In addition to the valuable experience gained, this internship is also a paid opportunity, with the salary being determined based on the intern's experience and qualifications. The fall semester, being longer than the summer session, allows interns to establish and exercise a new set of skills that will be beneficial in their future public defender career. Many summer interns even choose to stay on and see out their clients' cases.

To apply for this internship, interested law school students should submit a resume and cover letter directly to the offices of their preference. The contact information for each office can be found on the **Members Only** website. Applicants can apply to multiple offices, but should indicate this in their applications.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to gain real-world courtroom experience and make a difference in the lives of clients as a certified intern at the **Members Only**. Apply now for the fall semester internship!
