Legal Internship Opportunities

Legal Interns assist prosecutors in the Juvenile, District, and Superior Courts and the Appeals and Training Bureau. Internships are unpaid, but there may be a work-study program or other funding available through your law school.

First year law students gain experience in legal research, writing, and case preparation. 

Second year law students who are certified under SJC Rule 3:03 may appear in Juvenile and District Courts as a student prosecutor, supervised by an Assistant District Attorney. Please read the detailed description for more specific information regarding where interns are placed and typical work assignments.

Law students interested in a summer internship are encouraged to submit an application. If applying for an internship during the academic year, please indicate in your cover letter the specific days/hours and over what period of time you are available to intern, and whether you are applying to intern in a specific area of the office. Please submit all legal internship applications with a cover letter, resume, list of references and transcripts to Tamisha Claude, ADA / Hiring and Training Coordinator, mdaojobs@state.ma.us .

Please indicate in the "Subject" line the position you are applying for.
