PARALEGAL INTERNSHIPS Montclair State University - Department of Legal Studies
PARALEGAL INTERNSHIPS
The purpose of the Internship and Cooperative Education Programs is to provide students with direct experience in the legal environment. Students are to be assigned paralegal tasks during their chosen program. We are proud that our students have been placed with law offices, the judiciary, the United States Attorney's Office, financial institutions, insurance companies, and corporate legal departments. Sponsors have the opportunity to review the student's application and conduct an interview prior to placement.
During the semester, students meet with faculty in a bi-weekly seminar class to discuss pertinent topics including computerized legal research, the litigation process, ethics and client-related issues. Students are instructed to maintain client confidentiality. Sponsors are requested to evaluate the student at the end of the semester.
