Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced Tuesday, June 3, that 109 law school and college students have joined her office this summer as interns.
“The Bronx District Attorney’s Office is excited to again have bright young minds from all over the United States participate in our summer internship program,” Clark said. “The demand to be a part of our internship program grows each year. The 109 students in the program this summer represents one of the largest groups we’ve ever had.”
According to the district attorney, there are 89 students from 40 law schools in New York and across the country participating as interns this year. She said eleven of the law school interns are from The Bronx. Additionally, she said there are 20 undergraduate students attending college in New York and across the nation, and at least 12 of those students are from The Bronx.
Clark said interns will take part in workshops, lectures, hands-on training, and educational trips under the leadership of her office’s legal recruitment bureau and the litigation training bureau. She said a student practice order enables law school interns to perform some functions of an attorney in court and other interns have been assigned to bureaus throughout the office. The summer internship program runs from June 2 to July 25.
