Legal Aid Internship | Undergraduate Student Legal Aid Office

FALL 2023 UNDERGRADUATE LEGAL AID INTERNSHIP 

Applications for the Fall 2023 Legal Aid Internship are now open! Applications will be due 4pm on Monday, April 24. You can download a copy of the application here.

The Undergraduate Legal Aid Office internship program allows students to gain valuable hands-on experience while earning 3 hours of academic credit via EDCP386. Interns work approximately 6 hours per week and attend an academic session every week.

During office hours, interns perform in-take interviews with students, maintain all administrative records and correspondence, and consult with the attorney. Classroom assignments complement the office learning experience.

To apply, students must have at least 56 credits by the start of the internship and a 3.0 cumulative GPA is recommended.

At the end of the semester, interns are afforded the opportunity to apply to the Student Advocate Program. Both the internship and Student Advocate Program provide an excellent opportunity for students considering a law-related career, or any student who hopes to develop writing and interpersonal skills while helping their peers.
