Interested in a judicial internship for Summer 2025? Get an insider's look from your classmates who have been through it. Judicial internships are rare and coveted opportunities: they offer hands-on experience in some of the most demanding, dynamic, and exciting legal environments. They’re also one of the few ways to get “behind the scenes” of the judicial decision-making process while you’re still in law school. Texas Law is at the center of judicial excellence in the country, and there are numerous opportunities at both the state and federal levels (trial and appellate), covering a variety of complex legal issues. You’ll learn how to find a good fit and apply, and how to parlay your coursework into a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity. We’ll also discuss the course component of the internship, which focuses on enhancing your experience with legal writing, confidentiality and ethics, professionalism, and judicial decision-making.

Judge Vasu Behara, Director of the Judicial Internship Program

Join the Justice Center for the first EmPOWERed for Public Interest (EPI) event of the semester. At “Community Building Lunch: Charting the Path Ahead,” students can take a moment to reflect on the past semester, reconnect with their academic and career goals, and set some intentions for the next phase of their law school journey. Whether you’re looking to refine your goals or simply need a space to reflect, we’d love to have you join us!

This event is part of the Justice Center initiative designed to support students whose lived experiences, or those of their loved ones, intersect with the legal systems they aspire to challenge in their careers. EPI gatherings seek to address the specific challenges and burnout that public interest law students may experience while advocating for vulnerable communities they personally identify with.

Please RSVP by noon on Monday, January 27: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5ySE20PhdY0eQfQ

By this point in law school you’ve learned the foundations of black letter law. You’ve learned the foundations of legal research. You’ve learned the foundations of legal writing.

Maybe you came to law school after years of participating in speech and debate. Maybe you were active in student government or community organizing. Or maybe you’ve never done any public speaking at all. Whether you end up spending every day in the courtroom arguing to a judge or group of jurors, or in a boardroom advocating to a group of venture capitalists, a necessary part of our profession is public speaking.

You advocate every day already. You are advocating for yourself when you write cover letters. You advocate when you interview for summer clerkships. You are using advocacy when you present at your upcoming LRW oral argument and even when you write exams or answer questions in class. Advocacy matters.

If you didn’t already experience success as an advocate, you wouldn’t be in law school. The art of advocacy as a lawyer is an important part of your legal education, no matter where your career in law takes you. The upcoming Workshop will offer you a chance to add more skills to your repertoire.

Professors from the Advocacy Department at the University of Texas School of Law will offer the Spring 2025 1L Public Speaking Workshop on Friday, January 31st from, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. (with lunch provided beginning at 12:30). You will be taught by successful trial lawyers and talented National Mock Trial Champions; you will be taught by lawyers who are hired to teach experienced lawyers how to be even better.

You will be on your feet. You will be practicing voice and gestures. You will work on fluidity and rhythm and pace and cadence and tone. No matter what your skill level when you walked in the door, in two hours, you will be a better advocate than before. And if you show up at 12:30, we’ll even feed you lunch.

If you have any questions or would like to request the registration form, please contact Marla Massin, mmassin@law.utexas.edu.
