About the Program

Each summer, LSNC hosts first and second year law students for 10-week internships based in one of 8 field offices or 2 special programs. Interns are exposed to the major legal problems facing low-income families and learn the practice skills necessary to work in public interest law. Following orientation, interns report to their assigned office, where they may be given a variety of responsibilities, including interviewing clients, drafting pleadings, working with community groups and conducting legal research on various issues facing the community. Each intern will be assigned to a mentor attorney in his or her office. The mentor attorney will guide the intern through the summer and supervise his or her legal work. All interns will have opportunities to work with other staff over the course of the internship. If an intern is working on a discrete project, the intern should plan to spend more than half of her or his time on the project and the remaining time on regular internship duties, which may include work in support of their mentor attorney's caseload.
