Location The Defender Association is located at 810 Third Avenue, Room 800 of the Central Building, in Seattle, Washington. We are within approximately three blocks of all of the Seattle courts, with the exception of Juvenile Court and the Civil Commitment court, which are within a mile of the office. Qualifications Because of the seriousness of each case and the importance of maintaining the high standard of legal representation in our office, each intern must be reliable and demonstrate initiative in their work. Interns must be willing to work hard and to work in high crime areas. Interns should have college level writing skills, the ability to organize their work, and an understanding of advocacy in criminal defense work.
Good investigators are people who thrive on challenges and problems presented by their assignments.
Finances Interns are responsible for finding their own housing if coming from out of state. Reimbursement is normally paid twice monthly. Records should be submitted to the Intern Supervisor for authorization to the accounting department. If you do not have a vehicle and intend to use the bus, the Defender will provide a bus pass. School Credit School credit is usually available for college students.
