Honors Internship Program, Summer 2021
The Law Department's varied divisions offer summer interns hands-on practical experience. Interns regularly draft motion papers and briefs that are filed in court. Many take or defend depositions. The intern will be placed in the Labor and Employment Law division. Will typically draft between two and four responses to State court complaints, either answers or motions to dismiss and accompanying memorandum of law. May also draft papers in response to a challenge of an arbitrator's decision to terminate a public school teacher after an internal, quasi-judicial proceeding. Assist attorneys in research and writing federal court motions, including summary judgment motions and motions to dismiss. With all assignments, interns can expect to work closely with attorneys in the Division and receive substantive feedback regarding their work product. Interns also accompany attorneys to court conferences, oral arguments, depositions, and trials. Each summer intern is assigned a mentor. Each intern should receive several major assignments during the summer with different attorney supervisors. The number and nature of assignments vary by division. Should be enrolled in an accredited US or Canadian law school. The interns should work eight of the nine weeks of program, which normally starts the first Monday in June and ends the first Friday in August. Second year summer interns will be preferred.
Note: Weekly stipends of $750 are offered to all second-year summer interns and most first-year summer interns. Out-of-town law student interns may be eligible for free summer housing.
