Undergraduate Volunteers
Our interns provide support to our attorneys in multiple areas, such as telephone and in-person contact with clients, contacting administrative agencies to request client documents, conducting research into internal agency rules, copying and filing, drafting correspondence, viewing hearings at local courthouses and attending our various outreach events throughout the community. Hybrid and/or remote positions may be available upon specific requests.
