Course Description:  The internship program provides a supervised practicum experience in law.  Interns will spend eight (8) hours per week at their assigned internship position, and attend five scheduled class meetings, plus a final exam during exam week.

This course is strongly recommended for all students planning to seek paralegal employment upon graduation.
