Internships for our paralegal students have been an invaluable feature for students seeking to put their academic training into practice and to learn more about the day-to-day operations of a law office. An internship provides an opportunity for a student to determine whether or not a particular firm or area of law would be of interest for the long term. Moreover, an internship enables a firm to informally interview an intern over a period of time by being able to assess the character, ability, and personality of the intern. Over the last several years, dozens of paralegal students have been offered jobs prior to or soon after completion of their internships with law firms who served as their internship hosts. That's real value! |
Across the campus students are enrolled in a variety of types of internships. Consult with your academic advisor regarding the types of internships related to your area of study. See the college/departmental internship contact information for faculty or staff responsible for internships in your area of interest. If your department does not offer academic credit for an internship experience, you may choose to enroll in UNIV 4000 Community Internship. To register for UNIV 4000, click here. Consult with Dixie R. Crase (drcrase@memphis.edu) regarding permission to register for UNIV 4000. Some internships are available only to students who have successfully completed departmental prerequisites. Successful completion of approved internships is required for licensure or registration in disciplines such as teaching, nursing, child life specialists, dietetics, etc. Some internships offer monetary compensation, while others offer free parking or other benefits and no monetary compensation. |
