ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Discover what it's like to work inside one of the nation's largest trial courts through the Superior Court of Los Angeles County's Student Worker Program. This six-month paid program places college students in hands-on assignments where they gain experience supporting daily court operations, whether in a courthouse or one of the many administrative areas that keep the Court running smoothly. Alongside their work, participants will take part in courthouse tours, observe courtroom proceedings, and attend professional development as well as informational sessions where they'll hear from court staff across a variety of departments, offering a broad view of how the Court operates.

Based on location and interests, student workers will be placed in one of our 36 courthouses or one of our many administrative areas. Examples of placements may include:

• Courthouse clerk's offices
• Exhibits and Archives
• Facilities Management
• Jury Services Support
• Human Resources
• Finance and Accounting
• Research and Data Management
• Information Technology
• Communications
• Community Outreach
• Contracts and Materials Management

In their respective assignments, student workers will provide hands-on clerical and administrative support to court staff and management. Through tasks like organizing documents, assisting with office projects, and supporting team workflows, participants gain practical experience, and a real sense of how a busy court functions behind the scenes.

Student Workers must participate in court-sponsored program activities, typically held on Wednesdays and Fridays. These activities complement their day-to-day assignments and may include courthouse tours, department presentations, training sessions, courtroom observations, and other professional development opportunities. Through these experiences, participants gain a broader understanding of the Court, explore career paths, and connect with judicial officers and court professionals.

It is limited to a "not to exceed period" of 180 days of employment in accordance with the provisions of the Court's Student Worker and Student Professional Worker Employment Guidelines.
