Why intern with us?
Based on their interests and the Office’s needs, interns work in and across the Office’s practice areas (described below) to help support the Office’s work on behalf of the County and its 1.9 million residents. Interns will have significant substantive writing and research assignments and may have opportunities to assist in analyzing and drafting legislation. Interns also have opportunities to attend hearings and tour County facilities and will gain an unparalleled view of the complex legal issues faced by county governments and the critically important work of a public law office.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our Office and team members, our work, and our many practice areas.
