Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office -- Fall Internship

Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:51:22 -0400

The Office of the State's Attorney is accepting applications for Fall 2013

internships/externships for both law students and undergraduates.

Applications will be

accepted until August 9, 2013. Applications received after that date will not be

considered.

In order for the internship experience to be of value for the intern and the Office, interns

must commit to volunteer for at least 12 hours per week for at least 10 weeks.

The Office does not offer any paid internships and does not provide parking except at the

District Court facilities where parking is available for the general public. A criminal

background and traffic record check is required for all applicants. Applications are

considered in the order in which they are received.

Law school interns assist prosecuting attorneys with compiling discovery, obtaining

police reports, doing legal research, listening to jail calls, assisting in court, and drafting

and filing pleadings but also assist in some administrative tasks. Law school interns will

be assigned to Circuit Court Divisions and will be located at 120 East Baltimore St.

Undergraduate interns are assigned to the District Courts or to the Juvenile Division and

assist primarily with administrative tasks including answering phones, copying,

deliveries, organizing files, etc.

Assignments to specific Divisions are made in light of the needs of the specific Divisions.

Interns will be advised of placement upon on the first day of service. Interns do not

rotate through Divisions but are assigned to a single Division for the length of their

service. Requests for transfers among Divisions will not be granted.

How to Apply:

Interested persons should submit a cover letter and resume to

internresume@stattorney.org. no later than August 9, 2013. In the subject line, please

indicate "Internship" or "Externship." Cover letters must include dates of

availability and the specific days and times of the weeks that you intend to

volunteer. Without this information, we will be unable to process your

application.
