Internships
Can you do a law-related internship while attending CSB/SJU? Yes!
Richard Podvin is just one example. - Where was your internship?
My internship this summer was at the Anoka County Attorney's Office in the Victim/Witness Program.
What types of tasks did you do?
-Shadowed Victim/Witness Staff members and Assistant County Attorneys (prosecutors) at various court proceedings (First appearances, Jury Trials, Sentencings).
-Drafted Complaint Denied Letters for victims of crime for which our Office has declined to pursue charges.
-On a daily basis, called and communicated with Victims on Court Proceeding updates.
-Sat in on Jury Trial prep meetings with Victim/Witness staff member, Assistant County Attorney and Witness.
How did it relate to your POLS major?
-Due to my Pre-Law focus within the POLS major, I gained a firsthand experience of what a future career in Law may look like. Being a POLS major has made me an effective communicator both verbally and writing. The skills I have obtained through the major in the past few years well-prepared me for my experience this past summer.
How did having an internship clarify your goals for the future?
-This internship was unbelievably helpful for me in discerning my future career path. I intend on entering Law School in the Fall of 2016. By having the chance to be in an Attorney's Office for a summer, I gained an invaluable preview of what a career in Criminal Law would look like.
Below is a list of internships which have been completed by students. As you can see from the list, we have long-standing relationships with some firms and organizations around Central Minnesota.
The Office of Experiential Learning is very helpful source for organizing these opportunities.
