More information can be found at the State Bar of California site at calbar.ca.gov (See ‘Practical Training of Law Students’ in the Special Services section) In addition to assisting in the arraignment courts, interns will be assigned to work directly with attorneys in our office. The more time the intern has to invest, the greater the experience he or she will receive. Interns may shadow the attorneys, research and write motions, assist in client interviews, prepare investigation requests, participate in case preparation, participate in courtroom appearances, and perform in other public defender work.

Past post-bar volunteers have been able to handle up to three jury trials during their clerkships in which they were the trial counsel under the supervision of an experienced trial lawyer.
