DALLAS ASSOCIATION OF YOUNG LAWYERS
2014 SUMMER JUDICIAL INTERN PROGRAM
The Dallas Association of Young Lawyers invites first and second year law students to apply for next summer’s DAYL Judicial Intern Program. Judges from Dallas-area civil, criminal, probate, family, and appellate courts will be participating.
Applicants must have completed first-year civil procedure and legal writing courses before June 2014. Courses in evidence and criminal or appellate procedure are helpful but not required.
Internship selections will be made by the participating judges starting in March. Applicants must be willing to commit to a six-week, full-time voluntary internship during the summer months and are expected to honor any commitments made to the judges. The internship is unpaid, and individual schedules will be determined by the judges.
Applicants selected to participate in the program must attend a mandatory orientation taught by participating judges. The exact location and time of the orientation will be provided at a later date; however, it is anticipated that the orientation will take place late March/early April. Applicants seeking an accommodation must notify Cherie Harris at or Chris Simmons.
