Legal Studies Internships
The internship is an integral component of the Legal Studies program. It is designed to enhance a student's total academic experience through a planned period of observation, study, and participation in a law firm, governmental agency, or related organization. The internship is the culmination to a student's academic experience.
Prospective legal professionals benefit greatly from the opportunity to observe and work with practitioners in the field. Internships provide students with the opportunity to apply concepts and principles learned in the classroom; to network with professionals in the legal community, and to analyze on-the-job experiences in light of academic learning.
