Profile
Spring Internship
The program provides students exposure to the practice of criminal law, courtroom litigation, and providing holistic representation to indigent clients. Interns are afforded the opportunity to work directly with attorneys on felony, misdemeanor and juvenile cases. Students are paired with senior attorneys experienced in training new attorneys on court procedures and local practices. Law students are expected to perform more complex technical legal work, prepare documents, correspondence, take statements of witness, and assist the supervising attorney in preparation of the facts and legal references for use in litigation. Students participating in an internship may be able to address the judge and speak on behalf of clients by entering their appearance in court hearings, including bond arraignments, conditions of release and motion hearings, trials, and plea and sentencing hearings. In order for a student to enter an appearance, minimum requirements established in local rules must be met. Law students attending the University of New Mexico School of Law must have received a passing grade in law school courses aggregating 30 or more semester hours, shall be familiar with the Rules of Professional Conduct, and obtain a certificate from their dean which specifies the time frame the student will be participating in the internship. Law students attending any other American Bar Association accredited law school must have received a passing grade in law school courses aggregating 30 or more semester hours, be familiar with the Rules of Professional Conduct, and obtain a certificate from their dean which specifies the time frame the student will be participating in the internship.
