There are hundreds of summer judicial internship opportunities available with municipal, state, and federal courts nationwide. Early December is a good time to send out applications and academic credit is available through the Judicial Internship Program for summer internships with eligible courts. This is a great opportunity for 1Ls and 2Ls alike!

Emily Cook will attend, give a lecture, and lead a discussion on Texas Treatment Law and the Ten-Day rule. We will provide lunch for attendees.
