Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that 118 law school and college students have joined the Bronx District Attorney’s Office this summer as interns.
District Attorney Clark said, “We are excited to have this diverse, enthusiastic group of students who will gain first-hand knowledge of the criminal justice system. This internship will crystallize the importance and impact the Bronx District Attorney’s Office has in the community and will provide valuable lessons these students will take with them.”
There are 86 students from 34 law schools in New York and across the nation. Eight are from the Bronx.
There are 32 undergraduate students from 19 colleges throughout the New York area. At least 12 of the students are from the Bronx.
Under the supervision of the Recruitment Bureau and the Litigation Training Bureau, interns will take part in workshops, lectures, and hands-on training. Under a Student Practice Order, law school interns can perform some functions of an attorney in a courtroom. Interns have been assigned to bureaus throughout the Office.
The summer internship program runs from June 3 to July 26.
