Job Responsibilities:

- Conducting case investigation
- Assisting in all aspects of a criminal litigation practice
- Participating in trial preparation
- Assisting or observing actual trials

Education and Experience Information:
The internship program is open to law students and undergraduates. Law students are primarily from in-state law schools, though applications from out-of-state law students are also accepted. Undergraduates interested in fields such as criminal justice, social work, psychology, and related areas may apply for volunteer positions.

The program is designed to introduce students to all aspects of criminal litigation, providing them with real-world experience and exposure to the practice of criminal law. This experience is deemed invaluable, offering practical insights that may exceed what is learned in law school.

Salary Information:
The text does not provide specific salary information for the internship positions. However, it mentions that MSPD offers many employment opportunities for summer internships, and there are also limited volunteer positions available for undergraduates. The focus is on the opportunity to gain meaningful experience and training rather than financial compensation.

Additional Information:
The organization participates in on-campus interviews at all in-state law schools and many law schools in surrounding states, typically conducted in the spring semester. Students interested in summer internships are encouraged to apply through this process. For in-state law students interested in non-summer internships, out-of-state law students, or undergraduate students, applications can be submitted via email to Human Resources.

The organization is willing to collaborate with educational institutions to ensure that student interns receive academic credit for their internship work. Interns have the opportunity to provide meaningful assistance to clients with significant needs, working under the guidance of experienced criminal defense attorneys.
