Internship Opportunity
Internship Opportunity
Internships at the center offer students a hands-on way to apply their legal knowledge while enhancing their legal skills and contributing to the community. By participating, interns gain practical experience, develop essential legal skills, and support clients in need of legal assistance.
To ensure quality learning and a comfortable environment for clients, the Legal Aid Center accepts no more than two interns at a time in any of its free legal service offices.
Internships are open to upper-year students, including fourth- and fifth-year law students, as well as new graduates. Junior students (second- and third-year) are not given priority.
During the internship, students take on meaningful responsibilities that include:
- Conducting legal research and finding relevant cases;
- Assisting with cases and preparing memos;
- Conducting client interviews;
- Drafting legal documents such as statements of claim, statements of defense, and affidavits;
- Guiding clients through the court process, including filing a case at the court registrar, and other related activities
Interns develop their skills through real-world experience and are letter of recognition upon completion. While internships are unpaid, they provide invaluable training and exposure to clinical legal work.
