Law Clerkship Program
Overview
The Office of the Indiana Attorney General has an extensive summer law clerkship program. Opportunities for those who want to be exposed to meaningful work include paid and unpaid summer positions, as well as part-time and full-time clerkships during the academic year. You will have tangible responsibilities, which will give you “real world” legal exposure. After a formal interview with a representative from the Office of the Indiana Attorney General, select candidates will be invited to our offices in Indianapolis for a final interview, where they will meet with the chief counsels or their designees. It is our goal to tender all offers for the summer 2008 law clerkship program prior to November 21, 2007. For those seeking part-time law clerk opportunities during the academic year, the dates will change, due to when opportunities may arise.
Although you will have a designated supervising attorney, we want you to seek assistance from any of our 125 attorneys. You will be performing meaningful work for the State of Indiana and its citizens, so we encourage you to ask questions. This will afford you the opportunity to learn and grow with us, while also providing the best service as a representative of the Indiana Attorney General. Many past law clerks now comprise our attorney base.
Professional Development
We feel confident that you will grow personally and professionally while being exposed to our law clerkship program. While your supervising attorney will be an arm’s length away, you will be empowered to perform legal work, which will aid the State of Indiana and its citizenry. In many areas of our office, you will “own” a caseload, enabling you to apply what you have learned by performing important work on relevant cases.
This experience may direct you further into the areas of law in which you will want to begin your career, or just as importantly, may steer you into another legal arena. Due to the nature of our office, we are involved in a wide array of legal matters and topics, which will provide you the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of areas of law. Regardless of the area of law, you will receive support and guidance that cannot be matched.
