Are you considering law school, want to become an attorney, or just want to gain experience working in the criminal justice system? You can get experience working in the legal field as an undergraduate! Check out these opportunities for Spring 2022 internships. Fall and Spring internships are a great way to stay involved in your community and complement your courses. Another perk is that Fall & Spring internships tend to be less competitive because you are (usually) only competing with other local candidates!
