Internship Description:

Intern will help in doing clerical work, including assisting courtroom deputy and judicial assistant, e.g., opening new cases, setting dates for conferences, filing, sorting, light researching, updating law books and general office work. Due to this job's environment (dealing with real people and real cases), we need someone who is mature-minded, responsible, and has a good and serious work ethics and attitude. Even though the job itself is just clerical, it is important that he or she takes it seriously. In exchange, he or she will be able to observe closely how a judge and law clerks performs their duties, how lawyers present their cases, how the legal system works in a federal court, etc.
