Before including a judicial internship in your law student resume, you must decide where it belongs. You can place it under your internships or as a work experience. You can choose internships to draw attention to a particular program or show the amount of internships you’ve completed. If you want the focus to be on your professional experience, add it under your work history.
The format will be the same whether you include it under internships or work experience. For example:
