Law School Summer (1L) Intern

The Bronx District Attorney is committed to serving the over 1.4 million members of the Bronx County community through the Office’s groundbreaking mission of “Pursuing Justice with Integrity” by fulfilling our duty to victims and providing fairness to defendants. We are looking for a diverse staff that reflects the community we serve. The Bronx District Attorney’s Office seeks law students for its summer internship program. The eight-week program will take place during the Summer of 2025, commencing on June 2, 2025. Interns work full-time, in-person, Mondays through Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Interns are assigned to a specific bureau within the Office. They are directly supervised by an Assistant District Attorney.



Job Responsibilities:
Through our student practice order, interns may have the opportunity to appear on the record at arraignments, calendar calls, hearings, and trials. Interns will observe and assist with witness interviews, hearings, and trials, listen to and transcribe 911 calls, and review police reports. They will participate in the decision-making process regarding offers and aid in plea negotiations. The interns will participate in a vigorous and engaging training program, including attendance at lectures given by members of the criminal justice community and participation in several simulated practicums throughout the program. Finally, every effort will be made to give each intern a writing assignment that can serve as a writing sample for job searches.
