Profile

Legal Intern, Spring

Intern responsibilities vary based on the current work of company’s Legal Services Program, and always have a lasting impact for young clients. Under the supervision of company company attorneys, legal interns often have the opportunity to: research legal issues; write legal memoranda; draft legal documents including discovery, pleadings, and motions; participate in client interviews and safety planning; assist with trial preparation; accompany clients and attorneys to court; and present a Healthy Relationships 101 or Know Your Rights workshop to a group of young people. Legal interns may have the opportunity to “take the lead” on criminal case advocacy for one or more BTC clients, which includes: helping the client apply for funding from the Crime Victim Compensation Program, assisting the client with Victim Impact Statement drafting, preparing the client to testify, explaining and keeping the client apprised of the criminal process, and advocating for the client’s desired outcome.
