I Got a Law Clerkship/Internship!!!| Law School Vlog

DeMario talks about getting an offer to be an intern for the public defender's office. Public defender clerks have the unique opportunity to receive hands-on experience in defending federal criminal cases. Students may conduct legal research, draft motions, memoranda, and assist with appellate briefs and/or habeas corpus petitions. The student may also assist with trial preparation and investigation/mitigation, to include interviewing clients and witnesses, visiting clients in local jail facilities, and helping the attorneys plan case strategies. Students are also strongly encouraged to observe daily court proceedings, scheduled hearings, trials, and sentencings.
