Job Responsibilities:
Interns in the Trial Division will be introduced to various aspects of criminal litigation. Their responsibilities include:
- Conducting client interviews to gather relevant information for cases.
- Drafting motions as part of the legal documentation process.
- Performing legal research to support case strategies and motions.
- Conducting case investigations to uncover facts and evidence.
- Assisting in all aspects of a criminal litigation practice, including trial preparation and potentially assisting or observing at actual trials.

Education and Experience Information:
The internship program is designed for both law students and undergraduates. The program is particularly beneficial for:
- Law students seeking summer internships, offering them practical exposure to the field of criminal law.
- Undergraduates interested in criminal justice, social work, psychology, and related fields, providing them with volunteer positions to gain experience in these areas.

The program offers invaluable real-world experience and exposure to the practice of criminal law. Many students have reported learning more about the actual practice of law during their internships than during their years in law school.

The organization participates in on-campus interviews at all in-state law schools as well as many law schools in states surrounding Missouri, usually conducted in the spring semester. In-state law students interested in non-summer internships, out-of-state law students, or undergraduate students are encouraged to apply by submitting a resume to Human Resources, specifying their location and time preferences for the internship.
