The law school internship program at the Westchester District Attorney’s Office is designed to provide students with valuable experience in all aspects of prosecutorial work. Interns are assigned to a Division/Bureau where they help prepare cases for hearings and trials, conduct research, write briefs and assist with investigations. In some cases, interns are given the opportunity to make court appearances pursuant to the student practice order. During the summer, the Office conducts various programs to enhance the internship experience such as a mock trial experience and presentations by various speakers.
