As an intern, you will interview clients, draft demand letters and pleadings and, as you gain experience, you will also negotiate with the opposing party and represent clients in court.
Preference will be given in hiring to those interns interested in taking class credit for their first semester. You may be eligible for work-study or you may be paid hourly for subsequent semesters. Depending on your employment status, you will be expected to work between 10-16 hours per week.
Your internship will begin with an interviewing and counseling training session taught by one of the attorneys. You will begin interviewing your own clients within two weeks. There will also be supplementary classes covering researching Indiana law, fundamental law office computer skills, and practical lectures on landlord/tenant law, criminal law, family law and administrative law.
We usually hire between 10-20 interns per year based on need at the beginning of most semesters. If you are interested in becoming an intern, please submit a recent resume along with a cover letter to:
