Interns are not to be paid for work for which they receive academic credit. No student will be allowed to enroll for internship credit for working in a position which he or she currently holds or has previously held. Appropriate Activities for Interns Students may develop their own internship placements. Internships that contain little or no actual legal components or that appear to offer a weak internship experience will not be accepted for credit under LGS 5000. Students must select the method of grading prior to beginning the internship placement.
Interns are to maintain a detailed record of the hours worked and the work done in a log.
The field supervisor is to meet with the intern at the beginning of the internship and clearly outline the intern's duties. The field supervisor is then to meet with the intern at least weekly and review and sign the intern's log of internship activity at least four times during the course of the internship. Students will be required to submit a final report to the Legal Studies faculty member overseeing their internship. The final report may be a research paper or other assignment completed for the field supervisor. If the internship placement does not generate any papers or written projects, the student will produce a term paper based on their internship experience written under the direction of the supervising faculty member.
