1L / 2L/ 3L Summer Academic Law Student Internship

Harris County District Attorney's Office

Academic Law Student Internship

Academic Law Student Interns are assigned to work directly with experienced trial attorneys and assist the attorneys with a wide range of duties, including first-chair trial experience (with eligible bar card status); assistance with formal plea procedures; trial preparation; research and writing; and second-chair assistance with jury selection and jury trials. Interns routinely accompany prosecutors to court to observe and help with court dockets, hearings, and trials. Interns may also be required to complete additional assignments, specific projects, or observations as prescribed by their school or professors.

Please submit:

  • Cover Letter
  • Resume
  • Application
  • Unofficial transcript

Academic Law Student Interns are not paid a salary and can work a maximum of 40 hours per week during the summer internship term. Fall interns will work completely in-person during our 8 week internship program. HCDAO does not offer remote internships. If you are chosen and you are bar card eligible, you will be required to obtain your bar card once you are assigned to a supervising attorney.

If you are chosen for an HCDAO Internship position, your file will be sent to our investigators for a full background check. Once it is complete, your file will go to the HCDAO HR Director for final review and approval.

As part of the HCDAO academic internship process, you will need to attend an in-person orientation prior to your start date which is scheduled for Friday, June 04, 2027. Info on location and time TBD.

Divisions are assigned on an "as needed" basis. Most interns will be assigned to either the Professional Development Bureau or the Felony Trial Bureau. Another large group of interns will also be assigned to the Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, Sex Crimes, and Crimes Against Children Division. Once those division needs are met regarding interns, we will begin assigning interns to other specialty divisions.

The HCDAO Summer 2027 Law Student Academic internship begins in person on Monday, June 07, 2027.

The HCDAO Summer 2027 Academic Law Student internship ends on week 8:

Friday, July 30, 2027

If you are chosen for internship, you will receive more information once your background report is approved.
