A summer program for approximately 35-40 first year volunteer or work-study students is designed to familiarize new law school attendees with the office. There is only one initial interview and each first year law student is assigned to one unit (no rotation.)
A number of these first year interns become members of the next summer's more structured Legal Internship Program.
Interviews for first year summer interns are conducted late January through March, with offers being made in April. There is a one-day orientation offered to all first year summer interns.
All first year internships are volunteer. First year law students are encouraged to seek public interest stipends or 100% institutional covered financial aid work study.
