High School and College Students

Our internship for high school and college students provide an opportunity to learn about the work of public defenders and gain work experience in an office environment. It is recommended for students who are considering going to law school or working in in and on behalf of under-privileged communities. These internships can be tailored to the needs of the student, and are often a life-changing first step toward a career as a public defender.
