What are student legal interns?

Student legal interns are law students who work in legal settings, such as law firms, government agencies, or nonprofit organizations, to gain practical experience while still in school. They assist attorneys with legal research, drafting documents, attending court proceedings, and other tasks related to the legal process. This hands-on experience helps them apply their classroom knowledge to real-world legal issues and prepares them for their future careers as lawyers.

What is the difference between Student Legal Intern vs Law Clerk?

AspectStudent Legal InternLaw Clerk
Required CredentialsEnrolled in law school, often in 2nd or 3rd yearTypically law school graduate or current law student, sometimes with specific legal experience
Work EnvironmentInternships at law firms, government agencies, or legal departmentsLegal offices, courts, or law firms, often more formal
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by law firms, government agencies, and nonprofits for trainingCommonly used in courts and law firms for research and case preparation

While both roles involve legal research and support, Student Legal Interns are typically law students gaining practical experience, whereas Law Clerks are often law graduates or advanced students performing more independent legal work. The roles overlap in work environment and employer usage, but Law Clerks may have more responsibilities and independence.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Student Legal Intern, and why are they important?

A Student Legal Intern should possess a solid understanding of legal principles, strong research and writing abilities, and typically be enrolled in or have completed law school coursework. Familiarity with legal research databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis, citation formats, and document management software is vital. Attention to detail, professionalism, and strong communication skills help interns excel in supporting attorneys and engaging with clients. These competencies ensure accurate legal work, effective team contribution, and a strong foundation for future legal practice.

What types of projects or cases might a Student Legal Intern typically work on during their internship?

As a Student Legal Intern, you can expect to assist with a wide range of tasks such as conducting legal research, drafting memoranda, preparing case summaries, and supporting attorneys in client meetings or court proceedings. Projects often include reviewing case files, helping with discovery, and sometimes observing or participating in negotiations and hearings. The exact nature of your responsibilities will depend on the organization—whether it's a law firm, government agency, or nonprofit—but you'll typically gain practical exposure to real-world legal processes and issues, making it an excellent learning opportunity.

SUMMARY

The legal intern is a rising second- or third- year law student who will be assigned to work in our corporate office in Plano, TX (with potential for occasional remote work) for a paid, 10-week summer internship. The legal intern is a member of USRC's Legal Department and will support the attorneys, paralegals and executive assistants.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities The legal intern will perform the following duties and responsibilities:

  • Conducts legal research and drafts memoranda, responses to governmental requests, correspondences, and other legal documents.
  • Summarizes the legal issues and statuses of current litigation, arbitrations, administrative proceedings and other legal matters.
  • Attends and participates in, under supervision of attorneys, conference calls, investigations, mediations, court proceedings, arbitrations, labor negotiations and business meetings.
  • Provides ad hoc support to individuals in the Legal Department, including assistance with preparing reports and agreements and participating in project- based matters.
