Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that 55 law school and college students have joined the Bronx District Attorney’s Office this summer as interns.
District Attorney Clark said, “We are happy to welcome this summer’s diverse group of interns to our Office. Our internship program gives students an opportunity to work in one of the busiest prosecutorial offices in the nation. It is a robust program that provides future potential lawyers with an inside look at the criminal justice system. I believe they will have a rewarding experience with us this summer.”
This summer’s group of interns come from 18 law schools and 11 colleges throughout the nation. The Office today welcomed 39 law school students and 16 undergraduate students; 36 are female and 19 are male. Among the interns, 32 of them speak a second language, with 18 of them being Spanish speakers.
Throughout the summer internship, students will experience first-hand how the justice system operates in the Bronx. Under a Student Practice Order, law school interns can perform some tasks of an attorney in court. Interns have been assigned to multiple bureaus throughout the Office, including Trial Bureaus, Homicide, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse/Sex Crimes, and Narcotics and Gangs Investigation.
The internship program runs from June 3 to July 26, 2019.
